Works Well

  • A sharp picture with your whole face in view
  • Soft, even daylight without strong shadows
  • You looking towards the camera with a natural expression

Avoid

  • Side views, or tight crops that cut off part of your face
  • Sunglasses, hats, hands or hair that cover your face
  • Group shots, or pictures taken from far away
