Practical Tips for Taking Your Photo
Taking a clear photo at home saves you time and effort when you need official paperwork. Face a bright window to get even natural lighting on your face without harsh shadows or uneven spots. Keep your camera or phone at eye level, roughly one to one and a half meters away from your face. Ask a friend or family member to take the picture instead of holding the camera in your hand for a selfie.
Good lighting and a neutral expression help your photo look clear and professional. Make sure you look straight ahead at the camera lens with a neutral face. Avoid wearing hats or dark glasses unless required for medical or religious reasons. Checking these simple details before you print your photo sheet helps you avoid common mistakes that lead to photo rejections. You can use the tool above to adjust your photo size easily.
