Before you shoot
- Clean your camera lens
- Wear a white top or drape a white sheet
- Remove makeup and fake tan
- No filters or beauty mode
- Tie hair back and remove glasses
- Use your back camera if possible
Lighting
- Shoot between 9am–2pm
- Indirect natural light, facing the light source
- No shadows on your face
Photos you'll need
- 2–3 passport-style photos, taken in different spots
- 1–2 childhood or teen photos
- 2–4 photos of you wearing colours you like
The more supporting photos of you in different colours, taken on a good-quality camera, the better your results.
Common mistakes
- Photos taken at night or under indoor lights
- Not cleaning your camera lens
- Not facing the light source
- Shadows on your face
- Coloured walls reflecting onto your face
If your photos aren't suitable, I'll ask for new ones before starting your analysis.
