It may be difficult to find a plain white background at home. There might be pictures and things hanging on the walls all which get in the way of getting a clean white background.


No plain white walls at home?

  • Find a whiteboard in the office to use as your background. Make sure it is clean and no marks visible.
  • Hang a plain white, ironed sheet on a wall. It must be ironed, smooth, plain and white, otherwise, this will all be visible in the background.


NOT OK

  • Do not use a door as a background unless it is plain, white and smooth. If someone can guess it's a door (because you can see some edges, lines, or beveled edges, don't use it).
  • Do not use a wall if you can see any nails, holes, or anything at all in the background


LAST RESORT

  • If all else fails and you still cannot get a plain white background, it is best to go to your local pharmacy and pay to have your photo taken.
