Knowing some certain tricks, from now on you will like to be taken pictures of, because these simple tips will help you look stunning in every photo! Even if you are not yet a celebrity, you still should know how to behave in front of the photo camera. Here are the 7 most essential things to do while posing:

1. Stand with your arms at your sides

Some people do not feel relaxed in front of the cam. A professional photographer knows a few things that can help the person feel at ease. They talk to them, ask random questions trying to get to know the person better and, while answering those questions, the person starts to forget that he is being photographed. But what if you are dealing with an amateur who is there merely to take a picture of you? All you can do is to try to get rid of the tension or at least pretend that you feel good. One of the tricks that can make any person look relaxed in the picture is to stand in front of the camera with your arms at your sides. Do not stand with your arms behind your back or crossed. Let them hand loosely at your sides. The result will be a photo in which you look natural, comfortable, friendly, and at ease. If you have a belt on or wearing clothes with pockets, you can try and experiment various poses with these accessories.

2. Turn your face to the right

Scientists say that the left side of our face tells it all about how and what we feel. When you are photographed, turn your face to the right to slightly hide your left side. This trick is especially useful if you know that you have felt stressed, upset or depressed lately and do not want others to know this about you. Besides this, turning your face to the side will make you look romantic, set off your cheekbone and the curve of your eyebrow. This position hides other imperfections besides negative emotions on your face. Turn your face to the right if you know that you have a broad forehead or a wide nose. People with their face turned to the right look less aggressive in the pictures even when there is no smile on their face. Before the photo session practice a bit in front of your mirror and find the pose you look best in. And think if you can improve your hair-do as well.
