Ewa Beach Photography

The Ewa Beach Photography Studio is a government-owned photography center. It is the site of a large majority of photo sessions for clothing advertisements, and where all SimDatabase mugshots are captured.

SimDatabase Mugshots
Before the second Sunday of a Sim family's residency in Oahu, they are required to visit the Ewa Beach Photography Studio so the Honolulu Government can create a web page documenting their history. Failure to do so can result in temporary imprisonment in the Aku'Hai Cove Penitentiary.

The Sim ordained to take the photo can be a family member or paid professional from the Architecture career. The photo must be of a recognizable quality, or all involved parties will be imprisoned for forgery. The photo must then be submitted to the Oval Office of the state penitentiary and displayed on the large mural adorned in the Hall of Residents before the second Sunday.

The Photography Backdrop
The photography backdrop is a grey tarp, although the appearance of its color can vary depending upon lighting. The background color is not of importance to the Honolulu Government for as long as it is a neutral earth tone that is a different shade from the hair texture or skin color of the Sim.

Photo Requirements:
 * 1) Hair, if longer than five inches, must be pulled away from the face.
 * 2) Sim must be dressed in formal wear. Failure to do so will result in wearing a frilly hand-me-down dress issued by the government. This applies for all races and genders per Honolulu's anti-discrimination policy.
 * 3) Face must be in a neutral expression, or mandatory botox injections will be deployed (Article I, Section II).
 * 4) Makeup is recommended, but must be tastefully done to support the image of Oahu.

Failure to adhere to the above rules will result in imprisonment.
