title: 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.
