Height can vary-- straight and tall photos will work. I used to advise a high proportion of 4:5, now these will be lowered to 504 pixels tall with grey bars on the sides (see example).

Horizontal images will fill the 504 pixel width, however won't have the impact of square. Square looks ideal on the wall surface.
