FACE
Study yourself in the mirror and practice expressions,
especially your smile.
Be on the lookout for too much gum showing, squinting your eyes, wrinkling your nose and forehead.
If you smile all the time in pictures practice NOT smiling and visa versa.
Practice full, ¾ , ½ smiles and closed lip smiles.
Radiate warmth by thinking of pleasant thoughts
Remember the camera is the winning BULLS EYE.
Most important RELAX and HAVE FUN
This is the quality that is attractive.
Go ahead and “Show Off!”
BODY
When sitting No knees straight towards the camera place them sideways.
Think angles… how many different lines can you make with your arms and legs?
When in a pose, relax the muscles and breathe from the diaphragm to avoid looking stiff. Shoulders relaxed.
Always keep your back straight
Do not stand with your body directly square to the camera.
Avoid a “straight to the camera” body position. Twist your body a bit.
