When uploading, please use a descriptive name for easy identification and use. If a reader comes across a photo they want know more about, its name will help them to finding similar content online. It also makes it easier for the editor too!

An image should consist the following: Group namename of individualname of release (eg. album/single's name, magazine's name etc.) → other detail eg. date, type (cover, icon, etc.), etc.

Images that are in a same release/set must be labeled with numbers in chronological order (eg. ...teaser photo (1).jpg, ...teaser photo (2).jpg, etc.)
