SUMMARY:
- In any photo, your neck should remain visible. Don’t tilt your head forward; otherwise, your gaze will become 'heavy' and unwelcoming.
- Tilting your head without lowering your shoulders looks unnatural. Crossing your arms turns your whole figure into a vague blur.
- Even a slightly hunched back visually shortens your neck and "adds" a few extra pounds around your waist.
- Be careful with choosing the angle: the wrong one can make your arms and legs appear shorter than they are.
- If you turn your torso away from the camera too much, your shoulders will appear round and narrow, and your waist will seem wide.
- When we’re sitting down, we often wonder where to put our arms. Crossed arms create an ugly impression, but keeping your hands loose looks unnatural.
- Standing straight with your arms hanging at your sides can hardly qualify as a photogenic pose. Besides, some items of clothing can blur together, adding width and bulkiness to your figure.
- Baggy clothes make your figure difficult to discern. They also make your body seem much wider.
