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.
