Ways to Look Good in Photos
How to put your best face forward and pose(v.擺姿勢) like a model.
1. Focus your eyes just slightly above the camera lens(攝影機鏡頭), move your face forward a bit, and tip down(向下傾斜) your chin.
2. Put your tongue behind your teeth and smile, which will relax your face.
3. Keep your arms by your side—but not glued(v.粘合、緊附于) there. To look natural, they should be a little away from your body.
4. Test-drive clothing against a white wall, with an indirect, natural light source (under a tree, indoors near a window)—it will show whether blue really is your best color.
5. Photos exaggerate(v.夸大,使擴大) everything, so go easy on the makeup. For women under 30, a little mascara(n.睫毛膏) and lip gloss(唇彩色);over 30, add a touch of concealer(n.遮瑕粉).
6. Practice the classic model pose: Turn your body three quarters of the way toward the camera, with one foot in front of the other and one shoulder closer to the photographer. When you face forward, your body tends to look wider.
7. For standing photos, belly in, buttocks(n.臀部) tight, shoulders back, spine(n.脊梁) straight.
8. Study photogenic(adj.很上鏡的)people as well as photos in which you think you looked best. Look at your best angle. You’ll probably see that you were laughing or having a good time. Capturing(v.捕捉、捕獲) someone when they’re relaxed or most animated(adj.愉快的) usually makes for the best results.
9. To feel at ease, try closing your eyes, then opening them slowly just before the photo is taken.
