How to take a Photo

1. Check your counties Passport and Visa guideline requirements below.
2. Use a phone or digital camera to take your photo in front of a white or plain light background.
3. Stand about 1.5 meters away from the person who should stand or sit about 30cm clear of the background, this reduces shadows.
4. Backgrounds can be removed and changed to correct colour requirements.
5. Ensure no shadows or reflections are on your face. Do not use a flash.
6. Center facing, no tilting head in any direction. Neutral face expression with clear open eyes.
7. Send me your photos with this link or email to info@amaphoto.co.uk (avoid cropping or compressing the image to ensure the best quality)
8. I will resize and check that your image meets all the country requirements.

🔹 Digital Image is sent to you electronically, approved for online applications. No prints will be received.
