How to Look Good in Photo’s Every Time

Sick of happy days being spoilt by bad photo’s? Follow this guide to ensure you never look bad in a photo again.

Do practise in front of the mirror. The more you do something the more naturally it will come to you when needed.
Don’t face the camera straight on. Twist your body a little to get a smoother silhouette.
Do be natural. Striking an awkward pose or trying to pout just looks wrong. Do your best to relax in front of the camera and have fun. Think of something funny to get a natural smile.
Don’t try any crazy poses, you’ll just look silly. Natural but poised is the way to go.
Do smile past the camera. Figure out your best angle and present it to the photographer while looking off to the side – it will seem as though you didn’t even know you were being photographed.
Don’t get drunk before picture time. It’s hard to take a good picture when you’ve lost control.
Do look just above the camera. No more red-eyes. Jackie O swore by this tip.
Don’t pout. You’ll look mean and angry, not sexy and mysterious.
Do look at pictures of celebrities on the red carpet to get some ideas for simple poses.
Don’t slouch. Good posture is your best weapon.
Do breathe. You might be tempted to suck it all in, but that’s what Spanx is for. If you don’t breathe you’ll just look uncomfortable.
Don’t keep your arms tightly at your sides. You’ll look like a robot. Keep the body relaxed and don’t tense up just before the camera clicks.
