Tips for a photo that passes
- Face the camera straight on, about 1–1.5 m away
- Neutral expression, eyes open, mouth closed
- Even light from the front — no shadows on face or wall
- Hair away from your eyes; whole head and shoulders in frame
- Remove glasses, hats and headphones (religious head coverings are usually allowed)
- No filters, beauty mode or edits
