Up or down for photos?

[freznow]

Meaning, for example, drivers license photos. ID photos, etc.

Do you wear your hair up or down?

All of the cards in my wallet have the pic with my hair up, even though it looks better down, mostly because it's still just easier, not so much fidgeting and stuff. And it's not like BSL vs. classic really makes a difference, the picture is only of the face anyways.

Today was picture day at school. *bleh*

I was wearing my hair in a braid a few years ago when getting mine taken and was asked to put it on my shoulder so it could be seen in the picture. The person at the DMV seemed to think it was a good idea, as it is a distinguishing feature. Maybe visible long hair is useful as protection against identity theft?

Here, I think that your ears have to be showing in any id kind of photo. That said, I think that hair looks nicer down in pictures because otherwise it sometimes look like you have either a funny bald spot because of the flash on slicked back hair, or else like you just have really short hair. (Or maybe that's just me?)

I wore mine down. My hair was shoulder length then, and lots of layers. The picture is actually quite nice. I wish I looked that nice everyday lol

I had a half up in my license photo. It looks pretty good, but it was a newlywed, name change license, so I was feeling pretty good!

Down. Definitely. I cannot stand having a crappy picture of me be something I need to show to people at demand, and when my hair is down it looks so much nicer. Last time I had to go to the RMV for a new pic, I washed and plopped my hair special so it would look good. I plan on "losing" it shortly before I move to a new state again next year (either back to NY, NJ, or Michigan, depending on what happens with grad school apps) because it's the best license pic ever.

I have it down or in a half up for card photos.

I can't wear my hair in low buns or ponytails for photos. It makes me look severe (even though this style doesn't look severe on me in real life).

I wish I'd worn mine down for my latest ID picture! I wore it up and looked so severe. Sigh.

My face is so round I HAVE to wear it down, otherwise I look twenty pounds heavier. Ugh.
