How to look Pretty in Pictures

How to look photogenic

Not everyone is born with size 4, there are girls ranging from size 10-14 and we all quote them healthy to fat. What is this plus size all about? Throughout my childhood everyone pointed me out as fat, I was bigger and fuller than most of my friends. I know now I lost 10 pounds and can fit into size 8 dress, and trust me it was not an easy journey but rough road to walk. It all started two years back when I was at sister’s  wedding happily clicking pictures, when I logged onto social networking site found out that one of my friend tagged me in her  wedding album ,I HATE being tagged in photos because I usually look awful in pictures. But those were especially hideous. 
But getting into parties taking pictures with family and friends is fun and those are precious memories that will last forever. In the era of social networking pictures are viewed a number of times by friends, their friends and many other people. They leave a strong lasting impression. And since pictures are permanent, looking prettiest in the snapshot is very deserving. I hear complain from lot of my friends, they hate to go to parties and get clicked. It’s a trend now to upload even casual dinner pictures from last night hang out in social networking site. Here are my few tips to bring out super model in you. My fist half would cover the postures, make up and clothing that can visually make you look slim. Second half is all about Diet and Fitness.

Making yourself look good in photos is possible with a few posing and body techniques prior to taking the pictures.

Posing Techniques-Throughout the week you were munching burgers and pizzas, and munched scrumptious Chinese ,now weekend is here, its time for outing with your family and friends. This is  fact you cant loose 5 pounds overnight, but there are tricks which will help you. Its all about illusion. With tricks of camera you can actually look slimmer and younger. 

Trick1- Pose like Models. Pose like you are in pageant. You can actually hide your oodles of weight by standing in right posture. Being photogenic is to put your best self forward. Try to make the posture in angle, face the camera with one hip and shoulder partially sideways. Angle your body so one shoulder is closer to the camera.  Put your one foot in front of the other, facing outward. Place the weight on back leg. At first posing and clicking pictures might feel awkward but these little tricks can create huge difference.

Trick2-Striking right pose for close up is equally important. Pull your head upward and forward just a bit and notice your double chin just vanished. A bit vertical lift can minimize appearance of puffy sagging skin at chin. Or you place the camera slightly above as you can so that you can look up at it, which will slim the look of your face. Jut out your chin little bit which will slim the look of your face.

Trick3-To look thin in photo; tuck your tummy inside, hold your breath little bit till camera flashes. But don’t suck it to the extent that it looks awkward.

Trick4- To look in the pictures you can apply few simple visual tricks; the best way to make short people look taller is to shoot them from low angles. Whenever you shoot, make sure that you do not stand next to tall people. The best poses for short people are the sitting position. Always try to be in the front row while getting clicked because people closer to camera seem to appear larger though in reality they are not. To look taller than the people in the same row, be 2-4” closer to camera. Last but not the least good posture not only decides how taller you are but how smart you look. Align your head to toe in one line against the wall, pull back your body minimizing the distance from wall. This will help you to straighten up your posture and give impression you are taller than you are actually are.

Bring out your red carpet celebrity look with maximum sexiness. Being photogenic is to put your best self forward. With proper techniques, light, background you can show your true charisma around. It is a fact and not unusual that in beauty pageant Miss Photogenic and Miss Winner always differs.
