TL;DR
Lighting, angle and expression tips so your scan reflects your real proportions.
The five rules
- Face the camera straight on, eyes level.
- Soft, even front lighting — avoid harsh overhead light.
- Neutral expression, mouth closed.
- Hair off the face.
- Phone at eye level, not below.
Be consistent
For progress tracking, replicate the same setup each time so changes reflect you, not your lighting.
