How to take the photo at home
- Stand about 1–1.5 m from the camera, with the camera at eye level. Ask someone else to take it or use a timer: selfies distort the face.
- Face a window or use two soft lights so there are no shadows on your face. The background does not matter: the AI replaces it.
- Look straight at the camera with a neutral expression, mouth closed and both eyes open. Push hair away from your eyes.
- Wear normal clothes in a colour that contrasts with the background (avoid white for white backgrounds).
Printing
Download the print sheet and print it at 100% / actual size (turn off “fit to page”) on glossy or matte photo paper, at home or at a photo kiosk. A 4×6 in (10×15 cm) print costs a few cents and holds several photos.
