Why are photos of China people's ID cards always so ugly?

Because there are elevation angles, fill lights and shadows when taking photos, the Public Security Bureau takes photos directly.

First of all, makeup is not allowed in the photo of ID card, second, jewelry and hat are not allowed, and ears must be exposed on the front. These all limit the conditions for photographers to beautify people. The most important thing is that many people are not professional photographers when taking this photo. They don't know how to use the light, the position of the camera, or even the length of the focal length. This is a generalization. Each one is a shooting condition.

Art photos can take a person's face perfectly, but ID photos mainly take a person's five senses clearly, so that they can be in line with themselves and must be the closest to them.

Some ID cards are not qualified because they are too "good-looking".

Give you a popular science about the requirements for taking id photos:

Pay attention to the following aspects when taking photos of the second-generation ID card. First, in terms of clothing, it is required not to wear uniforms such as work clothes, school uniforms and police uniforms; If people wear glasses on weekdays, they should wear glasses when taking pictures. If the glasses reflect light, you can wear glasses frames without lenses instead.

Secondly, in terms of hair style, generally do not comb too high hair style. People with long hair can put down their hair, but it can't cover their eyes and corners of their eyes; For hairdressers, the computer will automatically detect the hairdresser's hair. Once the color is found to be different, it may be regarded as a color deviation and judged as an unqualified photo. In addition, it is best to wear dark collared clothes, and it is best not to wear gray and white, because the background of the photo is pure white, and these two colors are the easiest to blend into the background and will be regarded as unqualified.

If the hair color at the shooting point is too heavy, it must be sprayed with a special spray at the scene to change the hair color to black and wash it off after the shooting. In addition, the head of the exit-entry administration department of the Public Security Bureau also pointed out that passports require the public not to dye colored hair.

Let's talk about the requirements first: the second-generation certificate is strict. Pay attention to wearing dark collared clothes, no jewelry, no ears, no hat, and a natural expression.

Let's talk about the general effect of ID card photos: they are all big heads, so beauty can be ignored, and there can be no exaggerated expressions. They can only be positive, and the most beautiful human beings can't show them at a 45-degree angle, so the effect is generally terrible. Seriously, the photos of reform-through-labour prisoners are also taken like this.

Finally, talk about how to save one thing:

1, sit up straight and keep your back straight. Pay attention, it looks energetic.

2. Keep your shoulders flat and your arms droop naturally, so as to avoid your shoulders rising and falling.

3, the head is facing the camera, keep your back straight while keeping your head down, so be sure to raise your eyes when looking at the camera, so that you can fully expose your watery eyes and make your eyes look more radiant. Of course, this only applies to most people. Some people with white eyes and narrow eyes, it's best to hold their heads up a little and don't let their eyes go too far.

4, the expression is relaxed, and it is enough to show the expression that you are most used to.

If you are out of town, you'd better go back to the local police station to take photos, because although the state stipulates that all qualified digital photos can be used, there are some protection measures in the local area. In order to avoid trouble, you'd better go to the office to take photos.
