How to photograph your palm for an accurate reading
A good reading starts with a good photo. Image quality determines how much detail can be seen in your lines. These tips take two minutes and noticeably improve the result.

Light: natural and frontal
The best light is indirect natural light: near a window, during the day, without direct sun. Avoid backlighting, which darkens the palm, and direct flash, which flattens the lines. If it is nighttime, use a white lamp in front of your hand, not above it, to avoid harsh shadows.
Hand position
Open your palm fully, with fingers slightly apart and relaxed, without forcing. The hand should be flat, without bending the fingers backward. Photograph the entire palm: from the wrist to the fingertips, including the thumb. Important lines reach all the way to the edges.
Distance and focus
Hold the camera about 30-40 cm (12-16 in) from the hand, perpendicular to the palm (not at an angle). Tap the screen on the palm to focus before shooting. The image must look sharp: if the lines look blurry in the photo, the reading will lose detail. Get close enough so the hand fills most of the frame.
Common mistakes to avoid
The most frequent mistakes: a moving hand (blurry image), dark or patterned backgrounds that confuse the outline, rings or bracelets covering lines, and photos taken at angles that distort the palm. Remove accessories, rest your elbow if your hand shakes, and check the photo before submitting: if you can see the lines clearly, the reading will see them too.
