How our passport photos can make us LESS recognisable: Unnatural straight face can distort facial features
Don’t smile! It’s the dreaded passport photo. The one you’ll be cringing at for the next ten years.
But the traditional poker-faced mugshot may be on the way out, as scientists claim the smiling ban actually makes people’s faces less – rather than more – recognisable.
Researchers at Glasgow University found people who try to look serious could distort their facial features.
In a study, individuals could look so ‘strikingly different’ from one photo to another, most people would hardly recognise them as the same person.
The results suggest that photographs of our faces – relied on by border officials – are not accurate enough to spot imposters, with important implications for national security.
