Families look at the photo before they read a single word. You do not need a studio – a phone and 10 minutes are enough if you follow these rules.
1. Light
Stand facing a window in daylight. Never use the flash. Avoid harsh noon sun; morning or late afternoon is softest.
2. Background
A plain wall, curtain or greenery. No clutter, no other people, no mirrors.
3. Outfit
Traditional or smart formal in solid colours. Avoid busy prints and sunglasses. Light, natural make-up.
4. Pose
Head and shoulders, camera at eye level, gentle smile, looking at the lens. Ask someone to take it rather than a selfie.
5. Technical
- Use the rear camera, portrait mode if available.
- Take 20 shots, pick the best one.
- Our editor automatically resizes and fits the photo into the template’s frame shape (circle, arch, rounded).
