Upload guide: what photo works best

Upload a close-up, three-quarter or side view of your head, facing to the left, with your head large in the centre of the frame and your eyes glancing up toward the camera.

• Eyes and gaze: Keep your eyes visible and glancing up, with no sunglasses and no hair covering your face. The scene depends on that upward glance.
• Framing: Use a side close-up, not a full-body shot. Your head should fill the centre of the frame in three-quarter or profile view, facing left. A straight-on close-up can still work, but a three-quarter or side photo matches this scene much more closely.
• Just you: Upload only yourself, with no second person and no group photo in the frame.
• Mouth: Keep your mouth unobstructed, with no hand, mask, or object covering your lips or jaw. The action is a deep mouth action, so the model needs a clear mouth and jaw line.
• Light and quality: Pick a sharp, recent, high-resolution image with even, bright light on your face. Avoid dark rooms, motion blur, screenshots with bars and buttons, pictures of a screen, and filters that change the shape of your face.
• Outfit: Wear the outfit you want to see in the result. This template carries over the outfit from your own photo, so choose it deliberately — including a top you like, and also including a jacket or covered shoulders, which will carry over too.
• Do not use: back views, faces turned away from the camera, distant full-body photos, mouths covered by a hand or mask, and dark or blurry photos.
