10 Tricks To Always Look Great In Photos

10 Tricks To Always Look Great In Photos

Do you find yourself tense in front of the camera? Do your lips give way and does your fake smile pop out each time the camera flashes at you? Do you always wonder how your friends manage to look so confident and stunning in photographs? Does the camera become your enemy when you go for social outings? Why don’t you use the tricks below that will help you look great in photos without much effort?

1. Smile

It is said that a smile is like makeup. It adds an extra element of glamor to your face. It makes you appear more confident, even when you’re not. Hence, no matter what, never let that pretty smile leave your face. Smile wholeheartedly. Allow it to reach your eyes and notice the difference.

2. Maintain eye contact

It is very important to maintain eye contact with the lens of the camera. Treat the camera like your best friend. Look straight into the lens confidently. You know you did it right if your eyes hurt, when the camera flashed.

3. Pose straight

No matter what happens, don’t slouch in front of the camera. If you are sitting, sit up straight and if you are standing, stand erect. Maintaining a good posture will make you look good. Therefore, when in front of the camera, suck your belly in and keep your back erect.

4. Hide your flaws

Nobody has a perfect body. Everyone has some flaw or another. The trick is to hide the flaws and flaunt the good features in front of the camera. So if you have a double chin, chin up and tilt your head slightly to one side. Similarly, if you have a zit on one side of your face, show the other side of your face towards the lens. Simple, isn’t it?

5. Wear your makeup well

Even the tiniest of flaws show up clearly on camera. Hence, if you plan to wear makeup, make sure it is done neatly. Avoid using dark colors and stick to paler and lighter shades.

6. Sit cross-legged

If you’re being photographed while you are sitting, then make sure that you sit cross-legged. Sitting carelessly with your legs widened, looks bad on camera. Sitting cross-legged makes your legs appear thinner and leaner. You will also appear more elegant and ladylike.

7. Take your arms away from your body

Do you know that one of the most beautiful part of your body are your arms. So, instead of holding your arms towards your body or loosely letting them hang on either sides, use them to make yourself look more beautiful in front of the camera. One idea would be to confidently place them over your hips, to show off your confidence.

8. Avoid turning the whole body towards the camera

Have you noticed celebrities as they pose for the camera? They tend to turn the lower part of their body sideways, and turn only their upper body in the direction of the camera. Follow the same rule. Doing this will enhance your look and also make your body look perfectly curved (even if it’s not!).

9. Wear bright colors

Avoid wearing dull colors in front of the camera. Instead, wear bright colors so that you don’t mix with the surroundings in the photo.

10. Choose a good background

An inappropriate background can spoil the whole picture. On the contrary, a good background can magically transform your picture. Therefore try to use the background to your advantage.
These are 10 tricks that will not fail to make you look great in photos. So give a broad smile and say cheese!
