Taking Your Photo at Home Step by Step

If you take a photo for personal practice, use even lighting and a plain background. Stand a short distance away from the wall to avoid harsh shadows behind your head. Face a natural light source like a large window to light your face evenly.

For a practice photo, place the camera at eye level and look straight at the lens.

Preparing Prints and Digital Files

If you use the tool to prepare a photo for personal use, it can crop it to a commonly used 35 × 45 mm size. The cited sources do not specify a print layout. Check your final framing to make sure your entire head and face are fully visible inside the selection box before you save the file.
