Augh I know. How do they do that? Is there some special filter? In mine I look like I just rolled out of bed, and not in the sexy postcoital kind either.

Yeah well the lady at the DMV here had me facing the camera, smiling, relaxed then she asked how long I had a chauffeur's license so I got startled and said "Oh, it should be regular" SNAP

So I look like a blow up doll that's just been assaulted from behind.

I saved the one DMV photo that turned out decent. The latest ID photo I looked drugged.

by law, required to be facing flat-front, evenly lit, zero facial expression. This is not flattering on anyone, ever!
