How To Take Your Photos
To give you the most accurate and transformative results, I need a few specific photos. Please follow these instructions to get an accurate picture of your features and proportions!
Face Shape Analysis Photo Instructions
Prep: Pull your hair completely back and away from your face and neck so your hairline, jawline, and ears are visible. Remove any glasses. Hair should be as smooth as possible.
Use the Back Camera: Please do not use the front-facing "selfie" camera. It naturally distorts your face and body proportions.
Get Help or Prop It Up: The easiest way to do this is to have a friend take the photos for you! If you are flying solo, use a tripod and your camera's self-timer.
Turn on Grid Lines: Go to your camera settings and turn on the "Grid" feature. This will help you or your friend keep the phone perfectly straight and center you in the frame.
Apple Devices: open the Settings app, scroll down and tap Camera, then toggle on the Grid option under the "Composition" section.
Android Devices: Open the Camera app, tap the Settings (gear icon), and toggle on Grid lines or Grid
Zoom In: Set your camera to 2x - 3X zoom (or use your phone's Portrait mode if it defaults to a closer zoom). This is the secret to making the camera capture you exactly as the human eye sees you, without any stretching.
Angle & Distance: Your eyes should line up with the top line. Please keep the camera at a distance to where your shoulders are lightly seen in the camera.
Pose: Look straight into the camera lens. Avoid tilting or angling your face, you should be looking straight at the camera.
