5 Steps To Being More Photogenic

by limbic on August 24, 2006

From Digital Camera University come a primer on how to look better in photos.

In summary:

  • Step 1 - If you are standing, turn slightly and rest your weight on one foot. It may FEEL goofy, but you WILL look better. If you are sitting, angle to one side or the other.
  • Step 2 - Lean slightly toward the camera
  • Step 3 - Learn how to change your state (mood). Develop a ‘trigger’. Squeeze your butt cheeks together to get a nice smile. It works!
  • Step 4 - Learn to ¬æ smile. People just don’t like pictures of themselves with huge smiles. Smiling too big exposes gums and causes your eyes to turn into slits.
  • Step 5 - Never look directly at the lens -  ALWAYS, look slightly ABOVE the lens.
