You know what it's like - you're told you can't smile, you must look straight at the camera, not too light nor too dark exposure, etc, etc. With so much to concentrate on, we all seem to think we look awful on our passport photograph. So, what's the best way to look good on a passport photo?

成人论坛 Hereford and Worcester reporter, Julie Tyler, tried to find out the secret of a successful shot, to look good on this important document. As part of Katie Johnson show, Julie took her own photograph in a photo booth, which are found at places such as a railway station lobby, supermarket, department store or post office. What do you think of the photo booth results? Julie then took her set of four photos to Melgray's shop in Hereford, for their guidance. They took their own set of photographs, suitable for use on a passport or driving license.

Here are some ideas about having a good passport photo: - Two identical recent photos are required (taken within the last month)
- 45 millimetres (mm) high x 35 millimetres (mm) wide; 128 pixels (h) x 99 pixels (w)
- Printed on plain white photo quality paper (not watermarked or embossed)
- A close-up of your head and shoulders so that your face covers approximately 65 to 75% of the photograph;
- Taken against an off-white, cream or light grey plain background so that your features are clearly distinguishable against the background
- You on your own (no toys, dummies or other people visible)
The photographs must: - Be in sharp focus and clear
- Have a strong definition between the face and background
- Be printed at 1200dpi resolution or better if they are digital or scanned photographs
The photographs must show: - No shadows
- Your full face, looking straight at the camera
- A neutral expression, with your mouth closed
- Your eyes open and clearly visible (with no sunglasses or heavily tinted glasses, and no hair across your eyes)
- No reflection on your spectacles, if you wear them, and the frames should not cover your eyes
- Your full head, without any head covering, unless it is worn for religious beliefs or medical reasons
- Your face uncovered
