Unfortunately, not all people in the world are photogenic. In fact, most people need a lot and work hard on themselves to get good at the photo. If you feel like one of these people, and you think that to create one decent photo you need to take 10 pictures, then this information is for you.
Here you will find some tips and tricks that will help you look great when you are filmed. Read and try to repeat these tips to feel confident in front of the camera. So, let's begin:
1. If you are standing in one place, do not shove one hand under the other.
The optimal solution will be a casual crossing of hands. Try putting the palms on opposite hands just above the elbow. Also, do not forget about the position of the head. She should not be relaxed. Keep your chin raised slightly and your neck extended upwards. This little trick will make your features more refined. The main thing, do not forget to decorate the face with your unique smile. Happened? Excellent.
2. But the problem of "where to put your hands" is not solved!
And if a casual crossing is not at all your option, then it's worth remembering the most convenient trick - putting your hands on your waist. At the same time, you should make sure that this is not an aggressive pose "hands in the sides"! Take your elbows aside, relax your hands and spread your fingers, demonstrating a manicure. But most importantly, carried away, do not bite your nails and do not squeeze your waist - so you just add creases on the body and clothes.
3. Never let your hands hang freely along the body. If in life it looks natural, then in the frame it's just "untidy".
In this case, let one hand be relaxed and lowered, and the second one should be placed on the waist, with the head tilted slightly to the side.
4. One of the most common mistakes is touching the cheek or chin with your hands.
This position is also necessary to rehearse, otherwise on the finished photos it will seem that during the filming you had a toothache. Do you want to make your image in the frame attractive and intriguing? Then touch the cheek or chin with your fingertips only and then, as if by accident!
5. The following tip is very simple and enjoyable, because you will have to spend a lot of time in front of the mirror in order to determine the best view of your profile.
Let's start! Go to the mirror and turn your head to the left and right until you decide what reflection in the mirror you like most. In order to get great pictures, always remember that at the time of shooting, you should turn your head to the best side of your face.
Of course, we know that the beauty of the image depends more on the skill of the photographer, but we can help him in some ways:
6. Do not let yourself be shot from above, otherwise in the photo your head will be disproportionately larger relative to the body.
The exception is only newfangled selfies, on which you purposely create an image of an anime girl or a mimic look of a cat from the m / f "Shrek".
7. Do not overdo with pulling your cheeks! And if you really want to reduce them a little, just touch your tongue to the roof of your mouth, and turn your head to ¾.
8. Do you think you're being arrogant? Well, it's vain - if the models did not use this trick, then on the podium and promotional photos their face looked bored and frightened. Try it yourself!
9. The main part of a successful frame is a smile.
By the way, there are times when, before clicking the camera, the photographer asks to say "syyyr" or "chiyiz" has long ago sunk into oblivion. It is proved that the most natural smile is obtained if you say words that end in "a", like "panda", or simply imagine someone you love. But, even smiling with your most natural smile, you should know the measure - the radiance of all 32 teeth can emphasize in the photo and non-existent wrinkles!
10. Remember, if you want to have a wide open look at the photo, lower your chin slightly and look up. Voilà!
11. Excessive facial expressions, too, will have to be taken under control. You know that not all people in the world are photogenic, so a "frozen" twisting or kiss can play a cruel joke. Best advice - smile with your eyes!
12. Find the "good side".
As you know, a person's face is not symmetrical. Observe, when shooting from which side you look better - by her and turn to the camera in the future.
13. Do not look at the camera "from under the bows".
This look will make your nose longer, and your face - menacingly unpleasant. It is better to look directly into the camera, without tilting your head down.
14. Of course, do not forget about the position of the feet. They must create the silhouette of the body in the form of an hourglass.
The legs should be located one ahead of the other, as in the picture below. Otherwise, you risk looking "shapeless" or "pear-shaped", which will make you visually more than you really are.
