Tips on How to Look Good and Natural in Photos

Do you often feel dissatisfied when you saw your photos? Maybe, the reason often you say are you do not feel beautiful or photogenic. According to a wedding photographer named Denis Reggie, to be photogenic do not have to have a beautiful face, you just do not be intimidated by the camera. But how to overcome in order not to be intimidated by the camera? Below are some tips, so you can look good and natural in the photos:

Too stiff
Divert your mind from the camera, or you can invite friends, animal or a child so that your photos do not look stiff. If you want to photograph yourself, turn your hands on some object, whether it's glasses or hold a glass. Do not let your hands are on the side of your body.

Exaggerated Facial Features (Facial asymmetry)
If you have an asymmetrical face, for example, one eye bigger than the others, better if you pose with your head turned slightly to the side, so the camera only captures 2/3 of your face. This pose also attenuate the effects due to photographs taken a horizontal and not vertical.

Flat face
It's easy, you do not look directly at the camera. Focus your eyes on a point above the camera lens. You can also follow the advice from Jennifer Dupont, runner-up Miss America, which saw the point behind the lens. For example the shoulder of the photographer. You also can raise one of your eyebrow to add character.

A stiff smile
This is probably one of the cliche problems that often occur when you photographed yourself or a photo studio. Just ask your photographer to make a joke while taking your photos, or think of something funny that your expressions look natural.

Red eye
Surely, some of you ever experience with it. The way to avoid red eye is to ensure sufficient lighting at the time you photographed. Red eye usually occurs in darkened room so that the iris wide open, so that the retina is red because of blood flow can get light, and the process is caught on camera. When the pupils get enough light, it will shrink and reduce the possibility of red eye.

Stiffly style
For the problem of a stiffly style, ask your photographer to pose for you. While the problems like shiny faces, visible wrinkles or two chin, you need not worry, with the right make-up, your problem will not be visible.
