Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.PHOTO-ME, which makes the instant photograph booths, offers hints for passport pictures:
Adjust the height of the seat to allow you to obtain the correct eye-level.
Choose a less distracting background by pulling back the curtains.
Avoid the 'rabbit-caught-in-the-headlights' look by relaxing your facial muscles and letting your eyelids droop slightly.
Swing the lower half of your body around so that both knees rest against the side of the booth; keep them there and turn full face to the camera. 'You've now created a much more three-dimensional appearance for your features, and emphasised the contours of your neck and face. The result is far more flattering than the traditional identity-parade shot we're all familiar with.'
