For a time, my husband was a professional photographer.
If you take pictures of yourself in jedi outfit, here are some suggestions.
1. Use the best quality camera you can find.
2. Light is your friend, open windows to let light in. Use natural light if all possible. Open the window in the room next door if _any_ light can be added.
3. Be careful of backgrounds, hang a neutral color sheet behind you. Do not have white or black as the background. Light blue or green is good.
4. Forget the flash in the digital. It just makes you close your eyes, washes out the colors and with modern digital editing you and just pixelate to make things brighter.
5. Take lots of pictures then edit.
Two tricks if you are older and developing a double chin (or triple in my case). "turtle" stick your head forward a little bit to remove the jowl. Second is to get light there. Since most of the light comes from above, that makes a shadow. Pros use "soft boxes" which is light boxes shining under things. Use a light or mirror or a simple piece of poster board to under light the chin.
