changing tips how to post just like a professional model let's get started first of all it's very important to feel comfortable in the front of the camera trust the person who is doing photo of you if you're not feeling comfortable it will be showing so try to be in a good mood and ready to create some magic so first of all bring your shoulders back and drop them it will also create your neck looking longer and you will look more confident bring your chest out so it will look more full and your breasts will look bigger [Music] very important thing is bring your chin a little bit up forward and then down it will helps you to avoid double chin [Music] try not to stay directly to the camera or not doing just profile otherwise your nose could look bigger you could create an angle like 45 degrees [Music] don't stay straight your weight to one side or other side it will look more feminine print one leg a little bit forward and shift your weight which will make your body look more like curvy and also your legs will look much longer [Music] the other option just line your knee like this so you're again like shifting your weight and this pose look much more feminine another secret how to make your legs looking longer in the photo just always make sure that your toes looks right to the camera it will make your legs looking longer because the line will continue if you're doing a little bit to the side you cut in this line so just always so it's looking right to the camera another great pose it's also like just crossing your legs and shifting your weight you're making the curve toes looking right to the camera and makes your legs look long and beautiful you could also switch it's also adding some kind of movement like you're doing step bundle your leg Which is closest to the camera it will make your body shape look more curvy and more nicer for the photo or also if you're doing it from the back kind the same if you do need try it it's also like you could do like this [Music] the next very important thing it's always make sure that you're doing stomach in and Bud out it's again helping you look slimmer and more curvy on the photo let's not forget about breathing breathe in and out through your mouth it will look more natural on the photo and your lips will look more full it will also help to relax your face sometimes if you're not feeling right now in the moment that it's the right time to make picture you could just relax and make a deep breath and breathe out and then it will help your face to relax the next very important thing also what would help you to create more natural and spontaneous shot if you're looking away and then going back to the camera even you can turn back and then go back to the camera before we move in forward if you already enjoying watching this video please give me a like and I see that a lot of you watching my videos but not subscribing so it will be pleasure for me if you now is my favorite part what to do with arms sometimes it could feel awkward and you didn't know what to do with them but actually there is so many options first of all if you're wearing something with the packets it's very good and helping tool where you could put your arms it could go halfway in like this or you could go like this or if you don't have pockets but you have those things for the belt you could use it like this other option you could put only one hand in the pocket and other one could rest on your leg you could switch them you could play with this even like going to the back pocket but what to do if you don't have any Pockets you can just put your hands resting on the hips it could go like one arm just more straight and other one could be a little bit bended what to do if you're wearing some kind of bulky clothes or like dress which is not tight very good option to Define your waist placing your hand there it could go this way or that way it could go with two hands like walk walk style or maybe this way it could be also again the combination with one hand on your waist and another one just resting on your leg how to get understanding where exactly you should put your hand on your waist it is super important to put your hand on the nervous part especially when you're wearing bulky clothes because this is the part what would make your body look slimmer it will visually showing where is the smallest part even if you're wearing bulky clothes it would help you to show your body from the bed angle the next option what you could do with your hands is just crossing them but make sure it's very important having your fingers on top very relaxed and kind a little bit holding yourself what I'm telling like having the fingers here on top let me show you if I'm hiding one hand it's look like I don't have one hand it could look weird in the picture so make sure that you're showing both of them also from this pose you could go with the holding one hand or other one another option what you could go from this pose like holding your elbow and bring one hand up like thinking [Music] and it's very good for business headshots or just for the portraits you could play here with the fingers like up down when we're posing with our arms it's very critical always thinking about how we're posing with our fingers it's supposed to look relaxed but confident if you feel that you're starting to do like this or like it's very tense like this my suggestion just drop it down just relax again like press Deep In and Out just drop it try to thinking about like very like soft and smooth touch pretend that you're dancing you already know how to do your soft hand and another great pose with the hands just soft resting bend your elbow and just resting you could also slightly touch your fingers don't do like this it's look like very huge and a lot of fingers everything like going on just soft my top secret about posing with the arms especially when you're doing slightly an angle or kind of profile when you bring your arm very close to your body it starts looking huge so don't press your arm against your body just bring your elbow a little bit forward so your arm will look slimmer the tricky thing we're talking more right now about posing for women feminine but if you a guy against if you bring in your hand more closer to your body your hand will look bigger and you will look more masculine especially if you're doing like Crossing pose you could bring not your fingers forward but bringing them back and pushing a little bit to your arms and they will look bigger and more masculine how you could see the rules for opposing guys it's totally different so let me know in the comments below if you'd like me to do a video just for the guys what is the post that you should never do it's like just hiding both hands behind it's looking like you don't have arms at all especially if you have a longer hair it will cover if you bring your shoulders up your neck will look shorter and thicker you should try always thinking about this it's especially when you're doing photo shoot it just reflects that we're trying to hide like turtle we're trying to hide and be on the safe spot so that's why you should thinking about being confident comfortable and just relax [Music] let's add some life to your photos you could play with your hair like just slightly touching it kind of fixing them you could also adjust your clothes or adjust in your shoe but try not to fill when you're adjusting your hair try always thinking about your elbow if it's going like this straight to the camera it will look huge so putting it down so you're doing like this or it could go to the side like if you're like doing kind of volume [Music] or you could play with your hair like even like kinda here just slightly touching them just keep in mind thinking about the fingers soft hand when you're doing a shot like kind of adjusting your earrings try not to do like both hands to the sides and again thinking about the elbow same like with the hair but the good idea bringing your wrist together and doing it from one side or other one another option plan with the accessorize you could play with your for example my invisible necklace like bring it a little bit to the side or like if you haven't necklace as me it could just slightly tighten here or even bring your hand behind the neck and again like slightly tighten also you could add more prop to your shot having the purse or just phone it could be a Mark or whenever you could do it like more lifestyle shot like you're doing something there calling someone like even looking something in your purse trying to find the lipstick just like holding it in your hand holding in both hands same kind of soft hands just not touching the finger just holding in the posing it's also very important what are you wearing for example if I have like extra jacket or short I could play with it like holding it or trying to tight it when we are talking about more lifestyle shot and bringing more life to your photo it's very important moving in your shots like slightly touching adjusting Clauses like doing your hair try not just hold it but try to do this slight movement also it's working really great with the face when you look into the side looking down going back to the camera and that's how your face and your pose will look more natural and alive believe me as a photographer I could definitely say to you that light is critical when you're doing a photograph and it could be your best friend or worst enemy so you could see how different when I'm standing and right now light is going right on me lighting my face and what's happening when I start moving you see right now it's look bad and worse it's not even showing that that's how I'm looking and how the huge difference when I'm going back to the light so make sure to light your phrase right so before you're doing a photograph or you're asking someone to do a photograph of you you could just check with the front camera and choose the best position where you like yourself the most where it's lighting your face better please bring your smile smile and show your personality of course not Everyone likes to smile on photos and that's okay you could just smiles but one thing when you smile on the photo fake it but do you Trail when you're looking at the picture you could always say if the person really smiling or is it faking when you smile always your eyes also showing the smile it's making those wrinkles here like where is huge generous smile like like you're laughing but if you just smile and the eyes stand the same and don't worry about those wrinkles it could be edited out finally remember being in the moment and having fun I always ask to
