[Vanessa Ward]

How can I reliably capture a compliant passport photo online for USA using only a smartphone at home, including distance, lighting setup, pose stability, and tips to avoid perspective distortion or motion blur in small rooms?

Stand 0.5–1 m from a white wall, place the phone at eye height 1–1.5 m away, use diffuse daylight, disable portrait/beauty modes, and shoot several frames for sharpness. Crop and validate automatically for USA standards at passport-photos.net/
