Taking Your Photo at Home Step by Step
You do not need an expensive studio setup to get a proper visa picture. Start by finding a room with bright, even lighting and a plain background.
Ask a friend or family member to take the picture using a digital camera or smartphone. Keep the camera at eye level about one to one and a half meters away from your face to avoid distortion.
