How to Take a Photo at Home

For a practice photo, use a plain background and even light.

For a practice photo, face a window for even light. Ask someone else to take the picture and place the camera near eye level.

Stand about one or two meters away from the background wall to reduce harsh shadows behind your head and shoulders. Good positioning makes your practice photo look much cleaner.

Keep your shoulders square to the camera and look straight ahead with a relaxed expression while your helper captures the shot. Avoid tilting your head or smiling too broadly so your expression remains natural.
