Guide for taking clinical photographs

1. Find a space in your home with adequate lighting, either by natural or artificial light and
this light has to illuminate you directly from the front when taking photographs.

2. If possible, try to have a background behind that has an uniform color, without very
striking textures or patterns.

3. Preferably have a family member or friend help you take the photographs to achieve a
better result. In case this is not possible, you can program your camera or cell phone to
take them automatically using the timer.

4. In the case of the face, do not use any type of makeup when taking photographs. Do not
edit photos or put any kind of correction filter.

5. Position yourself at a distance of 1 meter (when photographing face and bust) and 2
meters (when photographing body).

6. Place your face or body in exactly the same positions as shown below, depending on
the area of the body that we are going to assess, without omitting any of the angles and
making sure that all the photographs have an adequate quality in terms of lighting and
focus.

7. Make sure that all the photographs are in JPG format.
