Tiny I need your help. Tell me how to take the pictures. I'm assuming I need a real camera? Not like phone pics. If you have any tips let me know. Just front and profile and 3/4? What sort of background? I guess I should shave my facial hair too.
You can use a phone just make sure there is enough distance between the lens and you ie. not a selfie. Otherwise there will be some lens distortion; also don't fill the entire frame with your face as the edge of the frame is often stretched in phone cameras.
If you use a phone, remember to upload at maximum resolution
Make sure there is face on lighting, not side or overhead.
Background doesn't really matter because I can 'shop it out but if you can, take it against a blank wall
Yes, shave or trim closely
