A photo guide for the booth

How to pick a photo the model can read, what happens when you press the button, and what the number can and can’t tell you.

What the booth sees

The model needs to find a face before it can guess anything. These are the photos it reads best, and the ones that trip it up.

Reads wellFacing the camera, even light, nothing covering the face.
Yes
Light behind youA bright window at your back turns your face into a shadow.
Face coveredSunglasses, hats and masks hide the features the model looks at.
Too far awayIf your face is a few pixels wide, there’s little to read. Crop in closer.

What the number means

It’s how old a face looks in one photo, judged from visual features. Lighting, image quality and the face detector all move it. It isn’t your real age or a measure of health.
