Distance from the Camera
Ensure you're positioned approximately 20 inches away from the camera. It's best if someone else can take the photo for you for accuracy.
Face Orientation
Position your face squarely in front of the lens. Ensure both eyes are open and maintain a neutral expression. Hold the camera at your face height.
Lighting
Stand facing a source of natural light, such as a window. Avoid strong shadows on your face or background for a clear shot.
