How to take a good photo with your phone
- Stand about 1 metre (3 feet) in front of a plain, light-coloured wall.
- Face a window or use even light, so there are no shadows on your face or the wall.
- Ask someone to take the photo at eye level. Avoid selfies; they distort your face.
- Look straight at the camera with a neutral expression, eyes open and mouth closed.
- Check the glasses rule in the table below; if in doubt, take them off. Keep hair away from your eyes.
- Upload the photo above, check it lines up with the guides, and download.
