Two settings that decide whether a home photo passes

Most home-taken photos fail for one of two avoidable reasons:

  • Standing too close to the wall — head shadow on the background reads as non-uniform. Stand 3–5 feet from the wall.
  • Overhead-only lighting — creates shadows under the eyes, nose, and chin. Face a window instead so light hits your face from the front.

Selfie distortion

Holding the phone at arm's length distorts facial proportions and shifts the head-to-frame ratio out of the 50–69% range. Have someone else take the photo with the rear camera from 4–6 feet away. If you must use a selfie, hold the phone at full arm's length, not closer.

Off-white walls are fine

If your only white wall is slightly off-white or shadowed, the AI background replacement handles it — you don't need to hang a backdrop.
