To get started, take a picture of your subject against a wall in your house.

Composition checklist:
  1. Photographer: Stand about 6 feet away from the subject. Capture the subject from the shoulders and leave space above the head
  2. Shadows: ensure the subject stands one feet away from the background to avoid shadows
  3. Expression: make sure the subject has a neutral expression with no teeth showing
  4. Glasses: remove to avoid hiding the eyes
  5. Eyes: make sure no red eye in your photos
  6. Background Color: plain, uniform, white or light-coloured

Note that if you are creating an official passport photo, you may wish to consult the official guidelines for Canada (link opens a new window/tab).

The official Canadian requirements state that the name of the photographer, address and date is provided on the back of one photo. This information may be handwritten by the photographer. Note that ePassportPhoto.com cannot provide this signature as we are not the photographer

After taking the picture, transfer the file from your camera to your computer and specify its location.
