Want to look at the photos perfectly? It's all about the pose!
Many of us would like to get the best photo, but complain about its "photogenicness". Fortunately, the star photographer John Godwin (John Godwin) from London shared the secrets of perfect photos. All you need is to study the characteristics of the shape of your face, the pros and cons and also take into account the lighting during shooting. How can "revive" the cheekbones, how to hide a double chin or to visually lengthen the face, read our material.
In our days there is a camera in every cell phone, and almost every day many of us doing a selfie or posing for friends. However, some women in all the photos look great, while others just hate to be photographed, they don't like how they turn out in pictures.
But what if there is a simple way to look photogenic?

Of course, all the celebrities know their strengths and take advantage of the face during the filming.
So, the first thing to do is to find the "working side" of your face. One side of each person's face typically the photos looks better than the other. Turn slightly left, take a picture, then turn right and you will see which side of your face in the pictures looks better. It is the "working side" of the face should be closer to the camera during shooting.
Now it's time to get perspective on the example of specific models. They are all ordinary women with different face shape.
MODEL: Gemma-Pretty (Jemma Prittie), 42, lives in North London, owns a tour company.
Photo Gemma slightly turned to the camera "working side" of the face and bowed his head. Thus the face shape looks more like a diamond than a square.
DO YOU RECOGNIZE YOURSELF? Your forehead, cheekbones and jaw are about the same width, and the shape of the face square rather than oblong.
NO No photo full face, especially the chin up, since this view will emphasize the square shape.
YES: Posing, try to avoid square shapes – not only in expression but in body position. A little turn around the "working side" of the face and tilt your head a couple of inches down. Smile, and the cheeks will rise, and the shape of the face becomes visually rounded.
MODEL: Janice Bryant (Janice Bryant), 59 years old, lives in Cambridgeshire. Prior to retirement Janice worked as a business analyst.
DO YOU RECOGNIZE YOURSELF? Pointy chin, your forehead is the widest part of the face.
THERE is No need to turn his head and look down the line of the cheekbones is blurred and gives the impression of a weak chin. But the face of this form looks great in the photos from the front.
YES: Smile and look straight and slightly up. Cheeks will lift, the jawline will become clear.
MODEL: yasmin Pascoe (Pascoe Yasmin), 31 years, lives in Essex with her husband and five children.
DO YOU RECOGNIZE YOURSELF? Your forehead, cheekbones and jaw are about the same width, face shape oblong.
NO: do Not look directly into the camera to avoid visual accent on the forehead. Never immerse the chin, this would unnecessarily accentuate the elongated shape of the face.
YES: Body slightly step back from the camera to show your "working side", then slightly tilt the head back. Finally, tilt the head to the jaw "looking" at the camera. "Such a perspective will make the chin line more clearly and visually reduces the forehead," adds John.
MODEL: Laura MUA Makeup artist (Mua Lora), 32 years old, lives in Swansea with her husband and son.
DO YOU RECOGNIZE YOURSELF? Length and face width are about the same. In the photos you look larger than life.
NO: do Not lift the head, this will hide the line of the jaw. "The tip to the chin is a point that compensates for the roundness of the face," says John.
YES: Slightly tilt your head, show your "working side", slightly lower cheek, to create the effect of some "angularity". Smile with a slightly open mouth adds length to the face shape and just play with the proportions visually make you slimmer.
