We often complain that our photos don’t look the way we want them to, and in photos we may notice that we’ve suddenly gained weight, our arms and legs are getting bigger, and we seem to have bags under our eyes, which may make us not want to shoot or use the filters in smartphones.
To get perfect photos, Bright Side offers some tips to make you look like a model and how to prepare for the shoot properly:
Turn your nose in the direction of the light source
Light is perhaps one of the most important things in photography, as it can make a 3D object completely flat or change the shape of objects, and to prevent wrinkles and dark circles under the eyes from appearing on your face, you should always point your nose at the light source.
Keep your nose in the direction of the light
Don’t hold your breath
The camera captures any irregularities and tension, and if a person holds their breath at the time of the shot, this is reflected on the face and body, and the person looks stiff and the situation is awkward.
Don’t hold your breath
Bend everything that can be bent
It may sound strange, but you should try to flex all the joints, and in fact, everything that bends in your body, such as the shoulders, elbows, wrists, hips, knees and lower back, and it will not be easy to do it all at once the first time you try it, to make your posture look natural. You can simply move or walk.
Bend arms and legs
Don’t lean on your arms
An elegant posture, in which a young lady reclines on one or both of her arms, looks beautiful only in theory. Calculate the abdominal and back muscles, the body will appear tense, so it is better to put your hands on your lap in a comfortable way.
Don’t lean on your arms
Do not support your cheeks with your hands
When a person supports his face with his fist, this makes his hands and cheeks appear larger, distorting their shape, and if you want to raise your hands, touch your chin and cheeks a little with your fingers, and at the same time, do not bend your fingers, but spread them out.

Don’t hide your hands in the pockets and don’t bend your fingers too much
Ideally, all parts of your body should be visible, which means that one hand should not be hidden behind your back, pressed your legs together, or put your hands in your pockets, you can hide only your thumbs, while the other fingers should rest on your thighs in a comfortable way .
Do not hide your hands in the pockets
Cover your neck with your hair or scarf:
The position in which the woman looks over her shoulder looks very feminine and elegant, the only drawback is that the folds appear on the neck, and they can be neatly covered with hair or a scarf.

Don’t look directly into the lens
Don’t look directly into the lens, as it looks too intentional, it’s best to find a point to the right, just above the photographer’s head, and look at it.
