Additional Tips for Taking Photos

1. Lighting:

   • Ensure the lighting is even and well-distributed to avoid shadows on the face or background.

   • Use natural light when possible, or position yourself facing a window. Place lights on either side of the face to minimize shadows if using artificial light.

2. Positioning:

   • Keep your face centered in the frame, with both eyes visible and open.

   • Maintain a straight posture and look directly into the camera.

   • Ensure the camera is at eye level to avoid tilting your head up or down.

3. Clothing:

   • Wear clothes that contrast with the white background to ensure clear differentiation between you and the background.

   • Avoid wearing white or light-colored tops, as they may blend in with the background.

   • Choose solid colors over patterns to keep the focus on your face.
