Passport Photos

Have you ever owned even ONE nice passport photo in your life? You know exactly how this goes: you get a good night sleep, throw a few boxes of powder and makeup on your face (hell, might as well just take an industrial paintbrush to it for all the good that does), do your hair and get to that corner shop that takes passport photos only to be told to tuck your chin in so you look like you have 5, make the most serial killer-esque facial expression and sit there awkwardly not knowing when exactly the photo is actually taken? And every time, it still looks like you dunked your head in a barrel of oil before you took that photo.
In China, I found people to look like supermodels in all their passports. Then, one unsuspecting morning at 7 am I got a phone call to get mine taken, with my boss waiting impatiently outside my door. Rushing out in pyjamas, still jetlagged and confused, I didn't really care what they would look like. The result was amazing. So much photoshop...didn't even know that was legal. 
Voila..proof!
