Hola all my sweet readers!

As you might see already, I’m about to let you know HOW TO LOOK GOOD IN PICTURES? Lets be honest, we are living in 2017 and your Instagram feed can tell everything about you. So ofcourse you want it to look good. These following tips are based on my own experience.

1. IT’S ALL ABOUT THE LIGHT.
Like anywhere in photography, including cell phone photography, the first and the main thing to pay attention to is lighting. Even when you’re taking a picture with your phone, you can easily make the picture much better when shooting during the daylight. So take a moment to check the light before taking the picture. Do not take the picture in the darkest corner of the room and do not take the picture directly into the sunlight.

2. ALWAYS take the picture from below in full-length portrait.
Why? Because that way you will look taller, skinnier and the view of the angle is much more flattering.

3. GET UP ON YOUR TOES. I know it may sound funny, but that way you’ll have a better posture, which makes you look even taller and even better.

4. KEEP YOURSELF MOVING. What I mean is that keep your body in control, but at the same time let it be as it goes. If you are too stiff all the time or stuck with the same pose then that’s a BIG NO. When you keep a little movement with you at all times, you will look much more natural and even might capture some moments and new angles of yourself that you haven’t even seen before. So walk, spin, move your hands, head, think about something funny, laugh.

5. FIND OUT WHICH SIDE OF YOUR FACE IS ”THE BETTER SIDE”. Look at your face in the mirror and find out which side of your face looks better and more natural to you. Take the photo from the shadowed side for an artistic and slimming effect.
