The better the photos you send me the
better you will be able to see any adjustments I make and I recommend you
take some pictures especially for the purpose. They certainly don’t have to
be professional but it makes a big difference if they are well lit and in
focus. |

To give you a good overall idea of
how FFS will feminise your face it is best to send 3 pictures - a frontal
shot, a profile shot and a ¾ profile where the face is turned a little to one
side. Most people send me 3 pictures but even if you only want me to work on
one, you still need to send me all 3 angles so I get a good all round view of
your face and can make a better assessment of your FFS needs. Here (thanks to a generous volunteer
that we’re going to call “Sam”) is an example of what I mean: |

As you can see they are well lit and
nicely in focus. The features can all be seen clearly and they stand out
nicely against the blank background. Sam’s hairline is clearly visible
because of her short hair but if your hair is longer it will help if you tie
it back. Notice that her expression is fairly blank which makes it easier to
assess the true shape of the features. Also notice that Sam is in “male mode”
and not wearing any make-up; this can help give you a more realistic view of
what to expect. |

Don’t be put off if you do not have
the means to take pictures of the same quality – these are just to illustrate
the kind of thing to aim for. Try not to have the camera too close to your
face – if it’s too close you can get lens distortion.
I recommend the camera is at least 6 feet (2 meters) away from
your face and should be at eye level - don't take your pictures with a hand-held camera unless you have to!
It is better to have the camera far
away from the subject and to use a “zoom” to get closer if you have to. Again
don’t worry if you can’t do these things - just send the best pictures you
can and I’ll let you know if I can do useful work on them (you won’t be
charged if I can’t!) |

Please try to keep file sizes between about 150 KB and 500 KB per picture.
If you have trouble getting them down
to this size just let me know – I might be able to advise you and if
necessary I can always accept larger pictures and reduce the file size
myself. |

If you only want one picture done I recommend
the ¾ profile because it will give you an idea of both the frontal and
profile view at the same time. If you want 2 done I still recommend one ¾
profile but for the second picture send whatever angle you think will best
show any adjustments. |

Some people also like to have the
adjustments made to a picture of their everyday appearance wearing make-up
and with their usual hairstyle so they can see how it will all look in
everyday life – this is up to you. |
