Tips for the best result
Distance from the camera
Position yourself at least 50 cm (20 inches) from the camera. Ideally, have another person take the photo.
Face in front of the camera
Place your face directly in front of the lens. Keep a neutral expression. Hold the camera at face height.
Even lighting
Ensure a well-lit environment to avoid shadows on your face or the picture’s background.
