Step I · The Photograph

Show me your palm

A clear photo gives a clearer reading.

I confirm I'm at least 18 years old, the photograph is of my own hand (or I have permission from the person whose hand appears), and I've read the Terms and Privacy Policy.

How to photograph your palm

i.Use your dominant hand.Right if you're right-handed, left if you're left-handed. The dominant palm reflects what you've made of yourself; the non-dominant reflects what you were given.
ii.Find soft daylight. A window during the day. Avoid overhead spotlights — they flatten the lines.
iii.Spread your fingers naturally. Not tense, not closed. The hand should look relaxed but open.
iv.Fill the frame. Get close enough that the palm fills most of the photo. Wrist visible, fingertips visible.
