Keep it Cool: Regulations and Implications of Expressing Anger in Passport Photos

Anger is an intense emotion that can arise in response to a perceived injustice, frustration, or boundary violation. It can manifest as both verbal and physical expressions, such as shouting, cursing, hitting, or kicking.

There are various degrees of anger, ranging from mild annoyance and irritation to moderate feelings of anger, wrath, and indignation, and more intense forms of rage and fury.

Facial Expressions of Anger

When people experience anger, their facial expressions can be very telling. These expressions often include:

• Frowning of the Forehead
• Lowered Eyebrows
• Pressed Lips
• Visible Teeth
• Bulging Eyes
• Widened Nostrils
• Tense Eyelids
• Red Face

Rules for Showing Anger in Passport Photos

However, in certain situations, it is important to maintain a neutral facial expression. In passport photos, a neutral expression is required. This means that the person must look directly into the camera with a neutral expression and a closed mouth. Teeth cannot be visible, and the eyebrows cannot be raised.

Showing any emotion, including anger, disgust, surprise, fear, joy, or sadness, is not allowed. It is important to maintain a neutral expression in order to avoid any confusion or misinterpretation of the photo's purpose.
