New way to achieve frontal facial photographs of the head in its natural position

Abstract

Frontal photographs of the head in its natural position are not as easy to achieve as lateral ones. We describe a new way to obtain standard 2-dimensional images of its natural position in full-face frontal view using a customised photographic system, which may provide supplementary information for traditional lateral facial imaging, and be helpful for standard assessment of 3-dimensional facial images.

Keywords: 2-dimensional full-face frontal photographs; Cephalography; Natural head position.
