Posing a la portrait

Pointing your head to the side makes your passport photo immetiadly not valid – we admire the great way Ms. Hilton loves to pose but for your next passport photo keep it simple |
Background noise

Mr. Barkley – keep this background piece out of the pic
|
Too light contrast

Eminem we know you can make the photo light just a bit darker
|
Closed eyes

Let's ignore for a second the background noise here. Although this should be an easy one, but in our case Mr. Bushwick keeps his eyes shut (or some part of them) |
Unneutral expression

Mr. Lil Wayne – the biometrics will go off the wall with such expression
|
Open mouth

Lindsay, please keep your mouth closed. Apparently, the biometrics computers get nervous when they encounter the white color of the teeth
|
Too dark contrast

Nothing to do with Mr. Tyson'S skin color, the biometrics machines and the State Dep. folks would reject this photo due to dark contrast |
Uncleared eyes

Nicole's left eye is slightly covered by her beautiful hair – a big no-no for passport photos
|
Background shadow

Even the respectful Mr. Blumenthal's photographer got this mistake here. How to avoid this? simply stand a bit farther from the wall to avoid the shadow
|
Looking off the camera

The eyes should always be pointed forward. Ms. Foxy Brown we're here! look at us! |
