Miss Photogenic

I know a secret! I have the ability to make myself look fabulous in any photo. Yes, I know it is hard to believe but hear me out! 
The trick to looking good is all about the position of your entire body. 
Here is the roll call

*Eyes wide
*Chin out 
*Shoulders back 
*Chest out 
*Hands on your waist 

You are going to feel [and at least from the side] look like a fool, but the camera doesn't see those angles and girl trust me after a couple tries you will be looking good and hooked on the pose. 


The key is to over emphasize it all, get your chin out a little too far open those eye really wide. In photos all these exaggerations will come across as understated and will only flatter your features. 

The first time my friend taught me this trick I will admit it was skeptical. I looked ridiculous and felt even more uncomfortable, but after the results I was on board. Now I have mastered the pose and share it with everyone! 


But there is more to this secret! Confidence is key! 
When you take a photo and you know it is going to be a good one, it usually is, Right??? Well same goes for when you take a photo and you predict the results will be bad, they usually are. 
Although we can't all feel great all the time, there is an obvious correlation between feeling good and looking good.  

Think about it this way, A person that just completed a marathon is probably not going to look photo ready when they cross the finish line. BUT 99% of those people are going to love that photo of them taking the last stride  because they in that moment are filled with joy and accomplishment. Get it?? 

 and when all else fails: FAKE IT TILL YOU MAKE IT  

Try the pose out! Make it your own, figure out what works for you. 
and share it! 
Rock what you got!
