Wonderful tips! How to Be Photogenic
For me, the best idea is to bend my joints. Otherwise, I look like a pencil.
Here's an unflattering photo with arms straight at my side at Lake Colchuck, July, 2014.
Consider this selfie I took yesterday with my camera on a timer, balanced precariously on a stack of books.
Just got back from hiking. I showered and changed. Hat hair from hiking two days in a row. But I'm glowing from outdoor exercise.
Another thing I learned from this article: body angles.
You are all hilarious! This post has brought out the comedians.
My drill:
Tuck chin down.
Lean slightly toward the camera.
Shuffle feet awkwardly. Never know how to stand.
"SMILE, dammit!" Dad said to our horrified faces, as he backed toward a cliff with his camera.
I found pushing my head forward and pressing my tongue to the roof of my mouth helps to reduce a double chin at least a bit.
Thanks for the tip. When standing for a photo, I never know what to do with my feet. Feel like a gawky colt.
I don't even have a double chin. But when the camera is below me, I look like I have a triple chin.
I keep telling my hiking partner, Karen, to hold the camera above my face. Karen always shoots from below, creating dreadful, unflattering photos.
