Even full time <a href=\"http:\/\/www.modelsdirect.com\/become-a-model\" target=\"_blank\">models<\/a> and celebrities have to work hard on their poses and photographic attitude. So, if you\u2019ve always felt that you\u2019re simply not photogenic, then we have good news &#8211; there are some basic tips that you can follow to get the most out of being photographed, whether on a shoot or in family snaps! Here\u2019s our top three:<\/p>\n<p><strong>Practice makes perfect!<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Nobody has to know that you practiced in a mirror prior to your moment in front of the camera, so why not prepare some poses that you think flatter you next time you\u2019re alone. You can take this a step further by having a faux photo shoot. Give it a try alone with a camera that includes a timer function, or with a good friend who you feel comfortable with. Most cameras these days are digital so you can afford to take lots of photos and can immediately delete those that you feel don\u2019t work. When you have taken some pics that you think work, consider how you can recreate the poses and angles that flatter you.<\/p>\n<p><strong> Personal style<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>When not on a professional shoot, try and wear something that you are completely comfortable in when having your picture taken. If you don\u2019t work your own personal style, it may show, especially if you are unsure about your look. Also, avoid trying out any daring new colours or makeup ideas at the last minute. If you\u2019d like to try something new, try it alone first!<\/p>\n<p><strong>Have fun!<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Relaxing in front of the camera is so important if you want to achieve a great shot. False smiles and strained expressions will always look odd so it\u2019s vital that you try to have fun. You may think that this is easier said than done but it doesn\u2019t have to be. Approach <a href=\"http:\/\/www.modelsdirect.com\/ourmodelssay-select.html\" target=\"_blank\">being photographed<\/a> as an experience that should be enjoyable. You are trying to capture a moment in time, for whatever reason, so lose yourself in that moment and shake off any rigidity. Physically shaking out your arms and legs can actually really help you to let go of tension. Give this a try between shots and be sure to change your expression or relax your face often &#8211; if you try to hold that smile for too long it will just look scary!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Talent Management knows that looking great in photographs doesn\u2019t come naturally to most of us.
