Almost any person gets lost at the “gunpoint” of the camera, does not know where to put his hands, feet, where to look, how to profitably present his figure. As a result, the photos are not very good.
Instructions
Step 1
To be good in photographs, you need to find your "chip", that feature, thanks to which you can show yourself in a favorable light. A smile suits one person, a sublime, soulful expression on his face, another - thoughtfulness. The same applies to the position of the legs, arms, body and head. In life, not under the gun of a camera, people instinctively find their ideal state in which other people like them. But in front of the camera, as soon as the head "turns on", the habitual advantageous posture crumbles, and now the person does not even know what to do with the limbs and where to look.
Step 2
Professional models, on the contrary, learn to understand their body and face, transfer this knowledge to a conscious level. An experienced fashion model trains herself correctly in front of a mirror or in front of a camera. As a result, she knows how to emphasize her individuality and beauty, since this knowledge is the result of long training.
Step 3
Thus, there are two ways to learn to pose. The first is to ignore the camera, behave as you normally do. Most people don't look ridiculous or weird in their day to day life. A good photographer can help just about anyone relax and feel in their comfort zone.
Step 4
The second way is to rehearse the poses and gestures in advance. To do this, you first need to look at yourself from the outside. A large mirror is ideal for this. Roll in front of him, examine yourself from all sides. If you have a large dressing table, you get the opportunity to see yourself not only from the front. After evaluating yourself, start choosing poses. You need to think about postures and angles in standing, sitting and lying positions. Make sure that the positions you choose are enjoyable, that you look good, and that you feel as comfortable as possible.
Step 5
Facial expressions need to be trained separately by using a small mirror. Learn to relax the muscles of the face as much as possible, often the excessive muscle tension makes the person in the photograph ugly. Work on your smile, find the option that makes your face harmonious, does not distort it. Perhaps the best option would be a smile that does not show teeth. She usually looks the most natural.
