Showing good face: the ins and outs of taking good shots
For some daters, good candid shots can be difficult to come up with because they feel they look goofy in group shots. Divinecaroline.com has some tips for perfecting photos even if you don't feel photogenic. The bottom line is: practice makes perfect, so stock up on digital memory cards and take as many as you need. For those who feel more relaxed doing this privately, borrow a tripod and take your own photos from every angle you can imagine. Go ahead, change clothes 100 times and style your hair differently. Nobody knows.
Tilting your chin slightly downward and getting a higher camera angle can improve your overall look, according to the article "Say Cheese: How to Look Good in Photos." Don Phillips, a fashion photographer, suggests that attitude is everything, so you should work it like models do.
A fun, pouty look can be achieved by imagining your boyfriend has been away for a month and upon his return, he wants to watch football, Phillips says. "Imagine the look you'd give him."
To avoid a dazed glare, don't look into the camera, stare at the photographer's forehead instead. Elongating your neck and sitting up straight up will make you look confident and slender. As for teeth, make sure you show a little, but not too much--you don't want to look like you are ready to devour your prospective partner. For those who feel a bit awkward and stiff, Divine Caroline says look at red carpet shots. "It will show you how lots of women of various shapes and sizes do it."
