Start with the strongest source

What makes a useful photograph?

A professional photograph is not required. What matters is that the important features are visible enough to work from.

Best starting point

Clear, natural and easy to read

  • Faces and important features are visible
  • The image is reasonably sharp and well lit
  • The original file is used where possible
  • Every person or pet is identifiable
May need extra care

Still worth sending for review

  • Very small, dark or compressed photographs
  • Faces covered by glare, shadows or objects
  • Separate photographs that need combining
  • Old images requiring restoration

Choosing a suitable photo

Use the original high-resolution image where possible, avoid heavy filters and make sure faces are not cropped or covered. Group photographs should show every subject clearly.
