When you go to upload your portrait to ybkplus.com it is really helpful if you have picture ready to go. But how do you take a great portrait?

The ybkplus.com has several photo requirements:

  • use portrait mode (not landscape)

  • use a solid, light-colored background

  • make sure there is adequate light on your face
