What Is Overexposure in Passport Photos?

Overexposure in photography, including passport photos, refers to a situation where too much light is captured, resulting in a photo that is too bright.

This can cause the image to lose detail, especially in the lighter parts of the picture, making features less distinct. For passport photos, it's crucial to avoid overexposure, as it can obscure facial features and lead to the photo being rejected for not meeting the required standards.

Proper lighting and camera settings are essential to prevent overexposure and ensure a clear, accurate representation of the person.
