11. HOW TO POSE: RULE 3 – YOUR HANDS ARE YOUR FRANDS
12. HOW TO POSE: RULE 4 – FIND YOUR GO-TO SIDE
• Look at your pictures. Do you like some more
than others?
▸ Probably because you’re facing one side versus
another.
• Look in a mirror
▸ What side do you like better?
▸ That’s your good side.
▸ I will go through great lengths to get to my
good side.
▸ Rearrange pictures
▸ NOT be facing my frands
▸ It doesn’t matter, I LOOK GOOD.
13. HOW TO POSE: RULE 5 – ANGLES & LIGHTING
• Lighting
▸ Natural is best (in the morning, an hour
before sunset). Noon / afternoon are the
worst (harsh shadows)
▸ Artificial lighting? Use your camera’s white
balance to change it or else you’ll be blue
or orange
▸ Dark lighting can be ROMANTIC & SEXY,
but make sure you have a steady hand or
use a tripod if not using flash. So much
blurry.
▸ Angles
▸ If you tilt your body slightly, you will look A
LOT thinner.
▸ Did you go on a diet? NO. You tilted your
body.
▸ Slightly angling your face will do the same
▸ Did your face go on a diet? NO. But maybe
it wouldn’t hurt.
