In the circle of professional photographers, there is an opinion that there are no non-photogenic people - there is an incorrectly chosen angle. To reduce the number of unsuccessful shots, it is necessary to rehearse favorable positions in advance, put on suitable clothes and do makeup.
Instructions
Step 1
Choose clothes that showcase your dignity. If you are embarrassed about your tummy, you should not be photographed in a tight dress, and then ask the photographer to remove the extra centimeters in Photoshop. Choose a nice, oversized top or blouse. You also don't need to dress in baggy clothes - your silhouette will become shapeless.
Step 2
Take care of your makeup and hair. Too thick a layer of foundation or powder will make you look older. If there are flaws that are difficult to mask, it is better to ask the photographer to edit them in special programs. Matting powder will help to get rid of oily sheen. And the eyes and lips can be made a little brighter than in ordinary life, because the photograph "eats" several tones.
Step 3
If you stand straight in front of the camera, the image is flat. Turn a little sideways, ideally the angle between the body and the lens should be 45 degrees. In this position, your waist will become slimmer. Do not press your hands to your body - they seem thicker than they really are. Place them on a belt or behind your head. Watch your posture. Lower your shoulders and pull back, and pull your stomach in. A good trick is to imagine that a balloon is tied to the top of your head and pulls you up.
Step 4
The problem of a double chin has not yet been canceled. To avoid being visible in the photo from the front, pull your head forward a little. When photographing in profile, raise your chin higher, look straight ahead. But don't hold your head too high.
Step 5
The femininity of the figure can be emphasized with the help of body curves. Bend one leg at the knee, transferring your body weight to the other. You can lean your back or hand on some surface. In the group photo, the most advantageous place is on the sides. Extreme people always seem slimmer than those in the center. When photographing while sitting, keep your legs parallel to each other. Feet directed in different directions break the line of the legs, introducing disharmony into the image.
Step 6
Do not try to build yourself out of who you are not. The photograph always shows a forced smile or fake joy. Don't be afraid to be sad or serious if that is your mood. Perhaps your pensive gaze will attract more attention than a smile. In order for the photo to turn out to be alive, remember something pleasant from your life, feel this moment. And don't be afraid of the camera, relax, breathe calmly.
