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!
