Never take photos of your face from the front.
Never take side profile photos.
Never take 3/4 view shots.
ALWAYS turn your head to an almost-profile position so that the side of your jaw facing the camera runs parallel to the glass of the lens. Tilt your head slightly upward—and if your jaw is short, move your head forward a little bit. You should also turn your body (not your head) toward the camera, and this stretches the skin on your neck and makes your ramus and gonion look more defined.
Doing so maximizes the visual length of your mandible in pictures.
Examples:
The top frame is the pose.
This is the correct angle, but the head should be tilted upwards a bit.
Although the camera is too low, this is what the correct pose looks like. See how his torso is facing the camera and his head is turned away at about 60º–70º. This allows the skin on his neck to stretch out and expose his ramus more.
