3. Look above the lens of the photo camera

This is the first thing every photographer would ask you to do! Do not look straight into the camera. Looking above it gives better and more natural pictures. Whether you are being photographed by a professional or just your friends, follow this simple rule. Make sure that the camera is not aimed at you from below. If you position the cam too low, then you might see a double chin in the picture. Hold the cam higher or straight, look above it, then move your face a bit up and forward. Do not worry, it only sounds funny yet the hint is very effective. While being photographed look straight at the person who is behind the camera. This should be done to avoid looking too official and strict in the photo.

4. Turn your body sideways

The right posing is equal to great photos. If you know that not only your face but your whole body will be visible in the photo, we suggest you should follow another rule. Remember that turning your body sideways will make you look slimmer, which is almost always desirable. And there are no ladies who dream of looking wider in their photos, right? Turn sideways and pop your knee. This trick will add more curve to your hip and make your waist look thinner. Not less important is to always remember our rule number 1 mentioned above and keep in mind that turning face and your upper part of the body may influence the final result. You are lucky if the person who is working with you is a real professional. If you not, then do not be surprised that in the picture you look shorter or fatter than you really are.
