📸 Photo Guidelines

📸

Take a step back: Ensure your photo includes your full head, neck, and both shoulders. Leave ample empty space around your face.

😐

Neutral expression: Keep your mouth closed and do not show your teeth. Look directly into the camera.

💡

Even lighting: Face a window. Avoid harsh side-lighting that causes heavy shadows.

No hats or glasses: Remove glasses and headwear. Ensure eyebrows and ears are visible.
