What are you photographing?
The guidance is different for each, so it is worth saying which.
Face a window if you can, or any soft, even light. Avoid overhead spotlights and direct sun — hard shadows read as texture that isn't there.
Remove make-up if you're wearing any, and let skin settle for a few minutes after cleansing.
Glasses off, hair back, neutral expression, looking straight at the camera.
No filters or beauty mode. Most phones smooth skin by default — that removes exactly what we're looking at.
Starting camera…
Before we start
Atlas will not ask you to re-establish what you assess at intake. It assumes you have, and it will name any dependency alongside a product rather than questioning you about it.
The following remain yours to verify:
Fitzpatrick type and PIH propensity
Pregnancy, breastfeeding or hormonal therapy
Isotretinoin within the last six months
Current actives, prescription treatments and medication
Barrier state and any history of reaction
Allergies and prior treatment tolerance
Your clinical judgement supersedes anything Atlas suggests.
