Choose photographs with care and clear authority.
A family activity should never make participation feel assumed. Decide who is involved, why each photograph is being used and whether everyone understands the purpose before beginning.
Permission comes first
Use only photographs that you are authorised to use. If another person supplied an image, ask before including it. When a child appears, an appropriate parent or legal guardian should make the decision and should consider the child’s understanding, comfort and wishes as well.
Consent is a continuing conversation rather than a one-time assumption. Someone may change their mind, dislike a photograph or prefer not to be part of a comparison. Make it easy to pause, choose a different image or stop without needing to justify that choice.
Select a suitable image
Choose a clear, front-facing photograph with even light and no heavy filter. Crop away unrelated people and avoid backgrounds that reveal addresses, school details, documents, location information or anything else that does not belong in the activity.
Do not add sensitive facts to filenames, captions or keepsake wording. A first name or family-approved nickname may be enough for a creative layout. The safest useful information is usually the minimum information needed for the moment.
Understand the purpose
Famililook is intended as entertainment built around visible resemblance and family conversation. It does not establish identity, DNA, ancestry, genetics or parentage. A photograph and an approximate visual observation should never be used as evidence about a person or a family relationship.
