Ok maybe a dumb question but the new efile requires you upload a photo. Are you guys just taking a selfie against a white wall?

It doesn’t even have to be a white wall. But yes, you can take a selfie on a solid color wall if you choose. You can even use an app like Passport Photo Booth. My last approved paper form looked like this:
Good to know: thank you. Gonna do my scorpion and I haven’t filed a form 1 since efile was still up

And if you have a digital camera and have a little photo editing know how... just photoshop yourself onto the form !
For my NFA forms I took a selfie in front of a white wall with good lighting and then in either MS Paint or PhotoShop (I forget which one since it's been about a decade) I fit four of them in a single image. This way, whenever I've got NFA forms, I simply send this image to Walmart Photo and print up a 4x6 or two and each one has four passport-style photos and costs less than a buck. I think it's a quarter or something all-in. My recent forms have been done via the SilencerCo online/kiosk system so I forget the exact cost but that's about the most cost effective way to print up some NFA passport-style photos.

A decade later it’s even easier.
Passport Photo Booth app on your smartphone/tablet will give you a silhouette to line up with the pic and will do 1/2/6 pics (IIRC) on a single 4x6. No MSP or PS skills needed. Print it at home (plain paper is fine), or send it to Walmart/Walgreens/etc.
