mugshot
Booking desk portrait
A mugshot is a photograph taken by police when someone is arrested, typically showing the face from the front and in profile.
The term combines mug (slang for face) with shot (photograph).
Mugshots are official records but often surface publicly, carrying connotations of criminality or disgrace: His mugshot was all over the news.
