Lighting plays an important role in taking pictures, so we should take the exact time to prepare lighting well. We should choose a room with sufficient natural light casting from the window. And we should constantly adjust the position between the camera and our face to find the best combination of lighting and angle. If there is no perfect daylight, you can use artificial light sources. By the way, don't use flash, or there will be red eyes on the photo.
According to what we mentioned above, your hair should be exposed in the photo. So the way your hair looks is quite vital for taking photos. Wash your hair the night before shooting to prevent oily hair and dandruff. If your hair is frizzy and rumpled, use your comb to brush your hair backward and remove any knots and tangles. Then use hair conditioner to revitalize your hair. You can wear your hair up or down as long as it doesn't block your face.
You are required to keep a neutral facial expression when shooting your passport photos. A smile, which shows your teeth and distorts your face, will make it hard for the authorities, customs officers and facial recognition software to identify you on the basis of your picture.
Well, of course, you can give a little touch to your face for your passport images. But it doesn't mean that you can wear too visible makeup, like red lipstick, pronounced eye liner, excessive foundation or dark eye shadow. Remember that your passport photo should truly reflect what you actually look like.
As the increasing advancement of technology, the photography of smart phones is more established. And a smart phone can satisfy most of our need for taking photos. The passport photo is not an exception. Therefore, you can use your iPhone, Android device, or other smartphones to take pictures. By the way, you should ask another person to help you because selfies are not acceptable. And you should keep your phone stable to avoid any blurred pictures.
