We all have that friend who never takes a bad photo. There are no closed eyes, strained smiles, or a big chin. Simple and clean, at the right angle, they always know how to take the right photos in the most beautiful way possible.
But if you don't have this friend of yours to make it happen, how do you do it? Fortunately, there are plenty of resources today that make it easier to get the ideal shot.
Here are some useful tips for all of you who want to look better in your photos!
Tips for the ideal smile
- In a photo where there is a smile, keep your tongue inside your mouth.
-Think beautiful things to inspire a real smile. Just make sure the photo is taken within ten seconds, because the longer a smile is forced, the more contrived it looks.
-When you smile, make sure your whole face is smiling.
-Saying "cheese" on camera is actually a terrible idea because it produces an unnatural, strained smile.
Tips for posing angle
-Stand on your toes to lengthen your body.
-Put your weight on the back legs, not the front.
- Keep your chin out, but not up.
-Turn your face slightly towards the camera.
-After each photo, move your body and face slightly to another position.
-Look directly at the camera.
-Tips for lighting
-Think about whether you have warmer or cooler undertones and wear colors that complement your skin tone.
-Good natural light that is not too strong or direct is best.
- In general, it is better to have the light in front of you, not behind.
Things you might not have considered
-Don't forget to breathe. Many people, when facing a camera, smile or hold their breath, which makes you look more tense and anxious. Take deep breaths before taking pictures to relax your facial and body expressions.
-Practice in the mirror. Experiment with different facial expressions.
