Taking Your Photo at Home
Face a window for soft, natural light, and keep the camera at eye level about 1 to 1.5 meters away from you.
Ask someone else to take the picture to avoid distortion and keep your posture straight.
Stand a short distance from the background to reduce shadows on the wall. Use even lighting so your face is clear.
Printing and Cutting Your Photo
When you finish cropping your image with the tool on this website, place the single photo onto a standard 4 by 6 inch template before printing.
Use a matte or glossy photo paper at a local print shop. Grab a sharp pair of scissors or a paper trimmer to cut along the crop lines carefully, making sure the final edges are straight.
