Upload guide: what photo works best

Pick 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.

• Light and quality: Choose a recent photo in bright, even light, in high resolution, with your face in sharp focus. Skip screenshots with black bars or app buttons, photos of another screen, and heavy filters that reshape your face.
• 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 and gaze: Keep your eyes visible and glancing up, with no sunglasses and no hair covering your face. The scene depends on that upward glance.
• Just you: Upload only yourself, with no second person and no group photo in the frame.
• 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.
• Outfit: Wear the outfit you want to see in the result. This template carries over the outfit from your own photo, so choose it deliberately — including a top you like, and also including a jacket or covered shoulders, which will carry over too.
• Do not use: back views, faces turned away from the camera, distant full-body photos, mouths covered by a hand or mask, and dark or blurry photos.
