6 Tips You Should Try, To Look More Photogenic

When taking photos we tend to tense up and the camera catches it all. Here is 6 tips to help you appear more confident and photogenic the next time you have to take photos.

  1. Turn Your Body 45 Degrees Away From The Camera

    Often when taking pictures we face the camera directly which makes us look boxy. By turning your body slightly off center you are creating more curves.

  2. Put Your Weight On One Leg And Slightly Bend The Other Leg

    Avoid the mistake of distributing your weight equally between both legs. When you put your weight all on your back leg, it helps you look relaxed and light. And when you add a slight bend to your other leg, it gives you more curves.

  3. Stagger Your Hands

    When one hand is higher or lower than the other it creates a more photogenic pose. For instance, if one hand is on your thigh the other hand can be on your waist. Even if you have your hands crossed slightly raise one shoulder to have both hands doing something different.

  4. Place Your Tongue At The Roof Of Your Mouth When Smiling

    This neat trick of placing your tongue at the roof of your mouth just behind your front teeth gives you a relaxed smile. When your smile looks relaxed and not forced, you will look more photogenic

  5. Sit At The Edge Of Your Seat

    When sitting, sit at the edge of the chair. By sitting at the edge of your seat your posture is better and you won’t look slouched. Having better posture allows you to look more confident and photogenic in your photo

  6. Practice Your Poses In The Mirror

    By practicing in front of the mirror you will be able to see yourself and the way you look so you can fix the things you don’t like. The more you practice, the better you will be when it’s time for that surprise photo

Now that you know these 6 tricks you are almost ready for your photoshoot!
