Setting Up Your Practice Shot at Home
If you want to practice taking a portrait at home, start by finding a clean, plain wall to stand in front of. Good lighting makes a big difference, so face a window with soft, natural light instead of standing under harsh overhead bulbs.
Keep the camera at your exact eye level and stand about one to one and a half meters away. Ask a friend or family member to take the picture for you so your face does not look distorted by arm length in a selfie.
Check that your shoulders are relaxed and your expression is neutral. Taking a test shot at home lets you see how your clothing looks on camera before you go to the licensing center.
