So I'm getting Josh's photo taken this week for his passport and I was wondering how the heck is he gonna manage to take a picture that is correct.
This is the requirements:
* The photos provided will be printed in the passport. In order for our equipment to read the photo correctly, applicants are asked not to smile.
* Photos must be taken against a plain white or light-coloured background so that the applicant’s features are clearly distinguishable against the background. There should be enough contrast between the background and the traits or clothing.
* Shadows are unacceptable. Lighting must be uniform to avoid shadows across the face or shoulders, around the ears or in the background.
* There must be no reflection or glare on the face or glasses.
* Applicant must show a neutral facial expression (no smiling, mouth closed) and look straight at the camera.
* Eyes must be open and clearly visible. Glasses, including tinted prescription glasses, are acceptable as long as the eyes are clearly visible and there is no glare in the glasses. Sunglasses and red eyes are unacceptable.
* Photos must show a full head without any head covering, unless it is worn for religious beliefs or medical reasons. However, both edges of the face must be clearly visible.
* Photos must show a full front view of the face and top of the shoulders squared to the camera (the image of the face and shoulders must be centered in the photo).
* Photos must be clear, sharp and in focus.
* Photos must be originals and not taken from an existing photo.
This is giving me a bloody headache!
Any tips?
