Afraid of group photos? Finding the right position in the photo, smiling in the portrait, the way the hands should be held, all these are details you need to rely on to ensure a great photo in the end.
But if you still think you're not photogenic every time you go out or take pictures, these are probably the mistakes you're making.
#1 You don't use your eyes to your advantage
Here's a simple trick: squint hard. Then relax the eyelids and let the lower part of the eyes be more in focus. This action puts a full look in focus and a glow light on your portrait.
#2 You don't know what to do with your hands
It's an awkward detail actually. But try holding a cup of coffee in your hand, sunglasses, or pretend you're fixing your hair so your hands don't look bad in the air.
#3 Say "cheese" every time you take a picture
It actually makes your smile look unnatural and forced. Just make sure you look as natural as possible in every photo.
#4 Capture the photo from below
Make sure that whoever is near the camera has it high enough for the subject to lift their chin just a little to fix their gaze.
#5 You don't rehearse
Practice makes perfect, so don't hesitate to take a few test shots before the final shot.
#6 The tongue is in the wrong place
Did you know that language can make you more photogenic? It sounds strange, but it's true! Place your tongue inside your mouth (just behind your teeth) when you smile for a photo.
#7 Hold your breath
The more you try to do this, the strain shows on your face, so have more confidence in your appearance and physique.
#8 You are in front of the camera
Another famous trick to copy? Strategically turning the head and finding the right position.
#9 Forget to breathe
Many people, when facing a camera, smile and hold their breath, which makes them look more tense and anxious. Be as loose as possible.
#10 You are not learning from your mistakes
As much as you don't want to focus on photos where you don't like the way you look, you need to learn from your mistakes. The right smile, keeping the hands in the right position, etc.
#11 You don't use filters
Now, of course we're not advocating using programs that almost transform you into a different person, but using and finding the right photo filters is something that makes you look more photogenic in every shot.
