Always check the specific instructions for your application type before you send your files or documents.
Practical Tips for Your Photo
Taking a good picture at home is easy if you follow basic photography steps. Stand facing a bright window to get even, natural lighting across your face without harsh shadows.
Keep your camera at eye level and place it about one to one and a half meters away from you to avoid facial distortion. Ask a friend or a family member to take the picture instead of holding the camera yourself. This keeps your posture straight, your shoulders level, and your expression neutral for the camera.
