Know your best angle.
Everyone has a side of their face that they look better on.
–
Stand up straight.
Good posture will make you look taller and slimmer.
–
Relax your shoulders.
Tense shoulders can make you look stiff and uncomfortable.
–
Tilt your head slightly.
This will help to elongate your neck and create a more flattering angle.
–
Smile naturally.
A genuine smile is always the best accessory.
Use your hands.
Don't just let your hands hang at your sides.
Create angles.
Avoid standing flat-footed.
–
Use leading lines.
Lines in the background of your photo can help to draw the viewer's eye to your face.
–
Find good lighting.
Natural light is always best, but if you're indoors, try to stand near a window or use a lamp to create flattering illumination.
