Good photos are not an accident at all, but a set of rules that are effective not only for owners of impeccable appearance. In the midst of vacations, I especially want to take photos that everyone would be delighted with. We offer you several ways to increase your own photogenicity, as well as new successful camera angles.
Our tips will help you take successful photos even on a regular smartphone!
— Posing sitting in a swimsuit (men’s version — in swimming trunks) should be half-turned to the photographer. 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 put 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 a picture on the beach, lying in the surf or in a chaise longue. It is best in this case to bend the legs so that the body does not turn out to be flat and devoid of volume in the picture. In addition, the lower part of the body in this case will seem slimmer.
Many, without noticing it, are hunched over in the photo. Well, I’ll have to straighten my shoulders at least for vacation shots. To do this, you can imagine that you are trying to hold an object between your shoulder blades (for example, a ball).
The big problem of many vacation photos is the excess weight of the posing. You can’t put it in your pocket, of course, but you can do something about it.
The double chin in the pictures, which was worked up during the winter months, can be hidden 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.
It is not necessary to lie heavily, as if pressed into the surface, and also stand completely straight — this will make a not too flat stomach even more bulging. 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 flaws of the face, but you can try to turn its brightness to your advantage. Make sure that when shooting, the light falls on the face directly, and not from the side and not from behind — this way the rays will naturally hide skin imperfections.
Nasolabial folds are another aesthetic problem that is easy to hide in pictures. It is worth trying to breathe through your mouth instead of your nose when shooting — this will relax your muscles and smooth out the nasolabial folds.
Men’s tricks
It is believed that it is not appropriate for a man to worry about such little things as “getting good in pictures.” But after all, it can be unpleasant for representatives of the stronger sex to see themselves in holiday photo reports in an awkward way.
The main advice is not to lie on the beach with a log belly up, it’s better to roll over on your stomach and straighten your shoulders – this way the view will be more masculine, and the photo is more expressive.
Who wants to keep an eye on their hair on vacation? That’s why the photos so often feature intricate curls, spontaneous mohawks and bald patches provoked by an insidious breeze. In this case, our role model is David Beckham, whose hair is rumored to have started to thin out a little. On this occasion, the football player got himself a whole collection of stylish hats, and now he is not afraid of sudden meetings with paparazzi. It is best to stock up on baseball caps, caps, panama hats or fedora hats for vacation photo shoots if, like Beckham, you are not sure about the perfection of your hair on your head.
How important it is to be frivolous
Perhaps the simplest but most effective advice given by all experts is not to forget to smile for photos, because a joyful facial expression is clearly better combined with beachwear than a serious one, and a frown can negate all the life hacks mentioned in the article.
