There are some things that always look good when a photo is snapped of them. A fluffy pet, a plate of good food, the sunset, etc., but did you know that this principle also applies to the human form and face? Depending on the way your picture is framed, and how much light you’re working with, and how close the camera is to you, you could very well be photogenic! And with that revelation in mind, let’s go through a few of the things about you that will always look good in a photograph.
The Right Angle
Everyone has an angle that they look their best from. Indeed, being photogenic is usually dictated by the amount of angular features you have - a strong jawline, or a prominent or ski-jump nose, will always look good on camera, simply because they work with the format. They’re angular and simple to capture, and point the light where it needs to go.
But even when you have a round/oblong face, or you have more soft features to boast, you can still have some excellent angles. For face shapes like this, pouting, or pointing your head down, or taking a picture from above you, will elongate your features, making them look better on the camera’s lens. But even when using these tricks, remember that the camera doesn’t show you how good you really look!
Your Authentic Self
You don’t have to dress up or down for photos, unless you really want to, because being your authentic and natural self is always going to look good in photos. Because when you feel yourself, you’re going to be more likely to smile, and open up your body language for the camera, and that always makes for a sweet snap you’ll treasure forever.
So dress like you. For example, don’t be afraid to keep your Eyeglasses.com pair of specs on - you don’t have to swap them out for contact lenses to look good in a photo! Then act like you, and pose like you do when you’re alone in your bedroom! All these factors combined will make for some intimate, camera worthy moments, that your friends will love to catch candids of.
A Genuine Smile
And finally, a genuine smile, even when you’re not feeling like pulling one, will always look good in a photo. And don’t worry, they’re a lot easier to fake than most people think they are! You just need to focus on your eyes; closing them, or narrowing them to halfway, will always put a bit more warmth into the way your smile looks. If you’re worried about having unfocused and unfeeling eyes, just soften the muscles around them, and try not to overdo the upturned arch of your lips either.
You can look good in any photo that's taken of you! Keep the tips above in mind when you’re worried about featuring in that wedding album or what those holiday snaps are going to turn out like.
