Good photos are not an accident at all, but a set of rules that are effective not only for those with impeccable appearance. In the midst of the holidays, I especially want to take photos that everyone would be delighted with. We bring to your attention several ways to increase your own photogenicity, as well as new good angles for shooting.
Our tips will help you take good photos even with a regular smartphone!
— When posing while sitting in a swimsuit (for men, in swimming trunks), you should turn halfway to the person taking the photo. The lower part of the body can be turned towards the camera, and the body can be turned to the side (and vice versa). Women should also place one foot slightly in front of the other and extend the toe of the foot towards the camera, this will visually make the legs longer.
Many people want to take pictures on the beach, lying in the surf or on a sun lounger. In this case, it is best to bend your legs so that the body does not appear flat and lacking volume in the picture. In addition, the lower part of the body will appear slimmer in this case.
Many people, without noticing it, hunch over in the photo. Well, you'll have to straighten your shoulders, at least for vacation photos. To do this, you can imagine that you are trying to hold some object (for example, a ball) between your shoulder blades.
A big problem with many vacation photos is the excess weight of those posing. Of course, you can’t hide it in your pocket, but you can do something.
A double chin developed over the winter months can be hidden in photographs by posing with your head held high. This angle will make the neck longer (or at least indicate its presence) and, in general, will give a more confident look.
You should not lie heavily, as if pressed into the surface, and also stand completely straight – this will make your not-too-flat stomach protrude even more. It is better to bend your back quite a bit in the lumbar region.
Greetings from the beach
The southern sun is merciless to the imperfections of the face, but you can try to turn its brightness to your benefit. Make sure the light hits your face directly when shooting, and not from the side or back, so the rays will naturally hide imperfections in your skin.
Nasolabial folds are another aesthetic problem that can be easily hidden in photographs. It’s worth trying to breathe not through your nose, but through your mouth when shooting—this will relax your muscles and allow you to smooth out nasolabial folds.
Man's tricks
It is believed that it is not becoming for a man to worry about such trifles as “looking good in photographs.” But it can be unpleasant for representatives of the stronger sex to see themselves looking awkward in vacation photos.
The main advice is not to lie on the beach with your log belly up, it’s better to roll over onto your stomach and straighten your shoulders – this way you will look more courageous and the photo will be more expressive.
Who wants to take care of their hair while on vacation? That's right, that's why the photographs so often feature intricate cowlicks, spontaneous mohawks and bald patches provoked by an insidious wind. In this case, our role model is David Beckham, whose hair is rumored to be starting to thin out a bit. For this occasion, the football player got himself a whole collection of stylish hats, and now he is not afraid of sudden meetings with the paparazzi. It is best to stock up on baseball caps, caps, Panama hats or fedoras for vacation photo shoots if, like Beckham, you are not sure about the perfection of your hair on your head.
The importance of being frivolous
Perhaps the simplest but most effective advice that all the experts give is to remember to smile for photos, since a happy expression goes better with beachwear than a serious one, and a frown can cancel out everything mentioned life hacks in the article.
