Variety

Upload diverse photos with different outfits, backgrounds, and settings (mix indoor and outdoor shots).

Do not upload multiple photos taken at the exact same time, in the same location, and wearing the same outfit.

Facial Visibility

Ensure your face is clearly visible and unobstructed. Include a mix of close-ups (head and shoulders) and 1-2 half-body shots.

Do not include photos where your face is obscured by hands, large jewellery, sunglasses, hats, or head coverings.

Expressions

Upload a mix of expressions a soft, professional smile, a confident, neutral look, and a wider smile (if desired).

Do not use overly exaggerated, silly, or filtered facial expressions.

Lighting

Use soft, even, natural lighting (such as standing near a window). Ensure your face is evenly illuminated.

Do not use photos with harsh shadows, strong backlighting, or poor/dark illumination.

Editing

Upload raw, unedited photos from your smartphone.

Do not upload images that have been heavily filtered, heavily edited, or processed by another AI generator.
