Upload guide: what photo works best

Best photo in one line: a close-up, three-quarter or side view of your head, facing to the left, with your head large in the centre of the frame and your eyes glancing up toward the camera.

• Pose and framing: Use a side close-up, not a full-body shot. Your head should fill the centre of the frame in three-quarter or profile view, facing left. A straight-on close-up can still work, but a three-quarter or side photo matches this scene much more closely.
• Eyes: Keep your eyes visible and glancing up, with no sunglasses and no hair covering your face. The scene depends on that upward glance.
• Mouth: Keep your mouth unobstructed, with no hand, mask, or object covering your lips or jaw. The action is a deep mouth action, so the model needs a clear mouth and jaw line.
• One person only: Upload only yourself, with no second person and no group photo in the frame.
• Outfit: Wear the outfit you want to see in the result. This template keeps your own outfit from your photo, so choose the top you want carried into the scene.
• Light and sharpness: Use a recent, high-resolution photo with bright, even light on your face and sharp focus. Do not upload a screenshot with black bars or app buttons, a photo of a screen, or a heavily filtered photo that changes your face shape.
• Avoid: back views, faces turned away from the camera, distant full-body photos, mouths covered by a hand or mask, and dark or blurry photos.
