Have you ever had an ID photo you do not like? We all have it. Usually, people do not like what they look like in patent, passport, etc. photos. In this regard, some professional photographers give their advice. Here are some things to keep in mind before you take the next picture:

# 1 - Push the head forward to emphasize the jaw.

See the picture for a simple illustration:

# 2 - Do not open your eyes forcefully.

Do not focus on keeping your eyes too open, as this will make the eyebrows not look good, resulting in a photo with a weird look. Smile lightly at the camera. Here is a comparison:

# 3 - Adjust the posture in two seconds by taking plenty of still breath before shooting the photo.

This will straighten your shoulders and bring your chest out.

# 4 - Avoid "posing" as if you are in pre-arrest photos.

For this, lightly line the lips with a light laugh. Do not exaggerate:

# 5 - You can take pictures directly after an hour of fitness.

Of course, after they have been washed and cleaned. The idea is that after the gym you will look and feel more energetic. You will also transmit this to the photos.

# 6 - Use a little makeup, but do not overdo it with contour, glitter, gloss, etc.

# 7 - Keep a close-up mirror to see how your hair looks.

# 8 - Shoot as many photos as you can to choose the best one.

# 9 - You can choose a white shirt with a nice collar. 

And most importantly, avoid hoodies.

# 10 - Do not wear hats / sunglasses / optics.

In some countries it is acceptable to take formal photos with hats or glasses, but this is usually not accepted. Among other reasons, the photos do not turn out so well and the work becomes more difficult even for the photographer.
