How to take beautiful ID photos

I won’t go into details here about the requirements and restrictions when taking ID cards. They are similar everywhere, except that you are not allowed to wear makeup, boys are not allowed to have long hair, and girls have to tie their hair up, etc.

< p> Let’s first take a look at the following artifacts - props that may be needed for photography. Yes, the props you see are not divided into men and women at all, and photographers generally work part-time (let’s call it photography for the time being) Teachers, everyone knows how good they are)

Dark clothes (usually shirts), hairpins, gel, lensless glasses (to prevent reflection when shooting), etc.

Wear Dark tops:

If conditions permit, before going to apply for an ID card, find out the color of the background curtain (the background cloth for ID card photos is usually white), and be prepared to wear a top with a matching color (such as white Of course you have to wear a dark top for the background (theoretically you can wear a suit), because the clothes prepared at the shooting place are really hard to see

Sit upright and dress naked:

When shooting, you should keep your posture upright and your head upright (the photographer will usually provide guidance on corrections). Boys should not dye their hair or keep their hair long. Generally, it is stipulated that men and women cannot wear makeup, but it is recommended that girls apply a little BB cream and dress naked.

Wear bright-colored trousers:

Wear a pair of white trousers or prepare a white towel to put on your legs (either bright colors are acceptable). Due to the reflection of light, people’s faces will appear. Small, eyes can be clearer and brighter

Stretch your neck and lower your head:

Straighten your back, naturally extend your neck a little forward relative to your torso, lower your head slightly, and look forward naturally with your eyes. , don’t squint (if you wear glasses, it’s best to bring your own lens-less glasses, because the glasses prepared at the shooting location are only slightly better-looking than reading glasses)

Look above the lens:

After many verifications, we found that if your eyes are level with the camera lens when shooting, the results will rarely be satisfactory. Therefore, it is recommended to look at 2 to 5 centimeters above the lens when shooting. I found that the effect of this kind of shooting is much better than that of looking straight up, and the eyes are more alert. Friends with double eyelids can even see the double eyelids (generally, double eyelids cannot be seen in photos taken by a head-up camera with double eyelids) < /p>

The corners of the mouth are slightly raised:

In order to prevent the taken photos from looking serious and like someone about to cry, we can make a few smiling expressions in front of the mirror. It's really stiff, so I suggest you raise the corners of your mouth slightly (eggplant...) so that the effect won't be rigid (of course, don't raise it too much, otherwise your mouth will be crooked)

Stay in a good mood:< /p>

Everything we do requires us to maintain an optimistic and open-minded attitude, not to mention photos that record facial expressions. Although the raised corners of the mouth may look good, having a good mood will only have better effects

One more time:

If you are not satisfied after viewing the shooting effect, if the photographer is easy to talk to or if the conditions permit, you can ask the photographer to take another shot: "If you can let me take another shot, I will definitely pose well." "^_^, two chances should be enough. Of course, it is not ruled out that patients with obsessive-compulsive disorder will directly tear up the certificate and then go to the "application" certificate point to re-shoot, haha
