Picture Beautiful (contd.)

Closeup Pose

The closer you are to the camera, the better you need to look.

Learn to be confident and brave. Develop a like yourself attitude and learn to smile not only with your face but with your heart.
To find the best angel, experiment in front of a mirror, or get a friend to snap digital photos. For most people, facing the camera dead-on is least flattering. Try tilting your head to one side or turn your face slightly away from the camera. Gaze just above the lens for an approachable expression. To avoid a double chin, tip your face down just a bit; this also plays up the whites of your eyes.
If you have a round face, bring your hair forward to make shadows on it. If you have a long nose, avoid shooting from above the eye level. If you have a short chin, shoot it from a lower angel.
If you are wearing a sleeveless dress, don't press your bare arms against the body - it will flatten the arms and look almost twice as big. Also, avoid lifting your arms - you might never know, the cameraman might be a bit adventurous and shoot the exposed underarm.
To get wide pupils and make your eyes look sexier and more expressive, try this trick. Shut your eyes (for a short while) while the photographer is getting ready and open them just as the picture is shot.

And of course, the most important advice when taking photos is to have fun, fun, fun. Laugh, play, make jokes - whatever - as long as you are enjoying yourself. And believe me, the photos will look great!
