Passport Photos for Felines

The "Look"

When the camera flashes, do not look cute. Looking cute suggests you are a pet. You are a Globetrotter.

Photo Requirements:

  1. The Stare: Look directly into the lens. Narrow your eyes by 15%. You want to look like you know exactly what the customs agent has in their lunchbox.

  2. Ear Positioning: Keep ears slightly forward but alert. One ear flicking to the side is acceptable if you want to show you are "listening to the streets."

  3. Lighting: Demand a sunbeam. If the photographer cannot provide a sunbeam, a glaring overhead office light will suffice to highlight your whiskers' aerodynamic qualities.

Vasilica’s Tip: Never smile. A smiling cat is a cat that has been caught in a lie. Stay stoic. Stay hairy.
