Mostly agreed. However, your last bit misses the point:
> the parameters for self taken photos are rather strict after all, such that it's quite hard to take photo that 'doesn't look like you' because of light, hair, makeup etc and have it be accepted.
The point there isn't to control for lighting conditions, but to make it physically impossible for the photo in the passport to be of someone who didn't bring the application in.
- lapinot 8y agoThis is only partially true: because you cannot wear your glasses and you may need to put your hair in a specific way to clear your face, you definitely can obtain a picture that doesn't look like your casual look (even if the natural facial features are matching).
