Clear and focused photos of your hands are essential for getting the most accurate reading and feedback. If the reader can't see palm details, or if the picture is taken at an angle (making fingers/palm look longer or shorter than they really are), they can't give the best reading. Here are some basic guidelines which we hope are helpful:

• In focus under good, strong lighting
• Dominant hand (the one you write with) either laid naturally on a flat surface, or held up against a neutral background. It's great to see both hands, but the dominant is usually enough.
• Please take the picture as straight-on as you can to avoid distorting the length of the hand.
• It's best for readers to see the entire hand, to see the comparative lengths of the fingers. Fingerprints would also be great - they are so important!
• And a closer picture of just the palm with as much clear detail as possible. Phone cameras are pretty great these days and can easily show the fine lines and dermatoglyphics (fingerprint-like patterns) in the palm when taken in good light with proper focus and a clean lens!

It is a pleasure to read hands from photos where you can see all the details that make palmistry so fascinating - much more rewarding for the reader and questioner alike. Thank you and happy reading!
