Step-by-Step Guide to Taking Your Picture at Home
You can easily take your photo at home before you print it out for your application. Start by finding a room with plenty of soft, natural light, such as facing a bright window.
This prevents harsh shadows on your face or behind your head. Ask a friend or a family member to take the picture using a digital camera or a smartphone.
Make sure the camera stays level with your eyes and keep a distance of about one to one and a half meters away from you. Stand in front of a plain, neutral-colored background so nothing distracts from your face, and keep a neutral facial expression while looking directly into the lens.
Taking a clear portrait at home requires patience. Turn off the flash on your camera to avoid creating bright spots on your skin. Have your helper stand straight across from you rather than tilting the camera up or down. Keep your shoulders square and look right into the camera lens.
Wear simple clothing that contrasts with your background so your shoulders stand out clearly. Remove hats, caps, and large head coverings unless worn for daily religious or medical reasons. Check that your expression remains calm with your mouth closed and your jaw relaxed.
