How to Look Good in Photos
There are many reasons why we love photos so much. They are vivid memories of places we’ve visited, of wonderful things that happened to us. It’s like traveling back in time. But there are some photos that seem to ruin our day. We wish we had a different posture, a different outfit and on and so forth.
You don’t have to be a professional model to look good in photos. It’s all about being relaxed, happy and it’s also about paying attention to your posture, to the surroundings etc. You can practice your best smile in the mirror till you master the expression you like best. Even models often do this trick before their photo shoots.
The Outfits and the Colors
Pay attention to the outfits that you are wearing. Make sure they have a flattering design for your body type. The color of these outfits also matters. Maybe you feel better when you wear certain colors and you feel a bit uncomfortable when colors that don’t represent you pop up in your fashion ensembles. This discomfort can be spotted even in a photo. So always try to feel good when wearing a certain outfit. Pick something that represents you.
The Hair and the Make-up
The hair and make-up should be natural. You can go for a glamorous make-up and hairdo if you love the attention. Some persons like to be more subtle while others enjoy being more flashy. It’s up to you.
The Head
A lot of glossy fashion magazines reveal different models with their heads tilted slightly. It’s no coincidence; it may seem like a natural pose, but absolutely every inch of the photos that you’re admiring on these glossy fashion magazines is photoshopped and rehearsed over and over again. A photographer takes care of every angle that you can see and the models are told how to pose, sit, stand and look at the camera. Their flawless make-up, body and perfect clothes have been chosen by specialists. Nothing is actually too natural when it comes to glamorous photo shoots. From 100 photos (for example) only 2-3 photos make it. Try to tilt your head slightly and notice the differences.
The Legs
A lot of people feel uncomfortable when their photo is taken. What should they do with their legs? Professional photographers advise you to bend one of your knees when you want to be photographed.
The Shoulders
Just try to lower your shoulders a bit and look straight at the camera. Relaxed postures are the best.
The Hands
Don’t forget the hands; a lot of people don’t know how to keep their hands during a photo shoot. You can play with your hair, touch your face or keep your hands around the hip area. You can highlight any part of your body using your hands.
So Relaxed, So Sexy
Natural looks and poses are the sexiest because they aren’t fake. You also feel good and anybody can notice that, even in a photo.
