Taking Your Picture at Home

Setting up your camera correctly helps you avoid common photo rejections. Keep the camera at your exact eye level to prevent awkward upward or downward angles and facial distortion.

Ask a friend or family member to take the picture instead of holding the camera yourself for a selfie. Stand about one to one and a half meters away from the lens to capture your upper body correctly, leaving enough space around your head for final cropping.
