Sarah the trouble with Pick your own Pose is this: I tend to find the first pic it takes is pretty good at which point I get cocky and think 'come now Ems we can do better than this' only to discover that extreme vanity goes before a fall and I end up looking psychotic or depressed anyway. Either that or none of the pics are any good and the machine starts to get stroppy with me and shouting PICK A GODDAMN PICTURE you vain insane woman. Which stresses me out and makes me pick a pic which does not do me justice, ahem.

My passport pic BTW does not make me look like a goff, just a mad psychotic murderer cheers cheers! I can imagine it blown up to full size on the front page of the Sun in grainy print. ACE!

I've never looked pasty-white in a photo, ha ha ha.

You don't need that level of verification in the US. You need proof you're a citizen, but I don't remember ever actually proving that the person in the picture was me.
Tips on looking good:
- Wear something you love. Confidence makes you lok better.
- Relax. Tight face = tight picture.
- Don't talk while the picture is being taken. I know too many people whose passport/driver's license photos look like they're auditioning to be blow-up doll models because they were in the middle of a conversation.
- CHECK YOUR HAIR. The one bad id photo I ever took occurred because I'd neglected to get a haircut for a year and I was wearing a hat until two seconds before the picture was taken. Imagine Gary Coleman's afro in "Diff'rent Strokes", only lumpy, and that's what the hair looked like. HORRIFYING.

I think I've gone on way long enough.

I'd rather wear someone I love. Any suggestions?
On other matters I just pushed a bus.

The best colour to wear is a red top or a grey one as this will compliment any skin tone. The reason why you have to have a white background is for the passport agency or DVLA to scan the photo.
Besides this the camera never lies!!!!!!!!!!

I don't actually look anything like Christopher Hitchens, by the way.
