How to take a photo that passes

  • Frame from the chest up, without getting too close to the lens.
  • Look straight at the lens, with the camera at eye level.
  • Hold your head straight, without tilting it. We never rotate a face.
  • Step back a little: leave space above the head and around the shoulders.
  • Use a larger photo, taken with the main camera rather than a crop.
