Tips to Look Good in Photos

Unless you have been professional trained to look good in all photos, at all angles, chances are there are some photos you’d rather hide in your closet. Here are some tips to be photogenic.

1. Heads up
This means literally. Tilt your head slightly upwards, meaning the camera should be just above eye level. You wouldn’t wanna be caught looking down on your wedding day, that’s just negative. And this trick prevents a double chin, which of course you would want to avoid -  at all costs.
2. Relax
Most people get too tensed worring about ruining the photo that they are, in fact, spoiling it. Relax, take a deep breath, it’s either in or out! By relaxing your face muscles, it instantly creates a natural glow! Now what beats what?
3. Do not force
If you don’t like smiling (or just had jello spilt on your gown and have no intention to for the next 345seconds), don’t force it. Trust us, you wouldn’t want to leave any trace of artificial expression in a photo. They will haunt you.
4. Upfront
One basic trick is to never stand straight into the camear. It never did anyone good for the past century. Tilt your body to a slight angle, and have your hips twist towards the camera. Reduces red eyes, higher appeal and definitely enhances your feature.
5. Be a child
Look at your old photos from when you were small. Was there any that wasn’t adorable or picture perfect? Our bet is none. That’s because children generally follow the rules of photo taking, that too effortlessly. They are relaxed, sincere with their expressions and playful. So bring out the child in you and it will show in the photos. Bottom line is, if you’re having fun it will show.
