- Ensure the entire face is visible, and eyes are open and easily identifiable.
Head Position:
- Capture a straightforward, full-face view with the head centered in the frame.
- Avoid titling the head at extreme angles; maintain a natural and upright position.
Background:
- Use a plain, white-colored background.
- Eliminate any distracting objects or patterns in the background.
Attire:
- Wear professional attire that adheres to the organization’s dress code.
- Avoid clothing that may obscure facial features or clash with the background.
Accessories:
- Remove accessories such as hats or sunglasses that may obstruct the face.
