How to take photos for a complimentary photo assessment by Dr Guy Watts
TIPS
Photographer
Please find a friend or partner to take your photos.Â
It can be difficult to capture accurate photos of your desired area/s when taking photos yourself.
The Photos
Photos taken by your friend or partner should include a:Â
- Front view
- Side view both left and right side
- 45-degree angle both sides if possible.Â
These should be taken at a distance of approximately 1.5-2 metres.
Background and Lighting
- Photos should be taken against a plain wall, or uncluttered background with as much light as possible (use as many open windows and artificial lighting as you can).
- Photos taken on a smart phone or modern camera will usually be okay.
- Please do not use portrait mode. Please make sure the entire photo is in focus.
Sending Your Photos
Be sure not to compress or edit your images. This can often cause photos to blur.
Please send original, high-resolution photos only.

Breast Photos (no bra)
- Stand up-right with feet shoulder-width apart and your arms and hands resting by your side.

Stomach Photos
- It is recommended to take photos in an up-right position with your underwear or bathers pulled down to your pubic bone. This is so the surgeon can clearly view your area of concern.
