Driver License Pictures

[frank]

I believe that the photographers at the DMV are specially trained to take bad photos, I've never seen one where the person's picture didn't resemble a mug shot or sometimes, as with my mom, a corpse in the morgue. I know they're in a hurry but just a little care on their part is all that's needed.

I don't think they are trained at all. If they are, they are trained for something, but not photography (probably arts).
My actual licence pic is pretty good, but I once went to school in the US and got one of the mugshot-types. On both my drivers license and ID card you could see the top of the blue screen and part of the wall behind it.

My latest license photo turned out pretty good:
