How to be More Photogenic for Your Wedding Photos
There are very few people out there,
especially new brides and grooms, who genuinely love having their photograph
taken. Honestly, even the most beautiful people in the world sometimes shudder
at the mere thought of being photographed. If you are one of those people who
believes that they look abysmal in absolutely every photograph taken of them
then you are going to totally love the
tips on this page. This is a very quick
guide to look a bit more photogenic whether you are preparing for your big day
or just hosting a party with a photo booth. Honestly, put a bit of effort into
putting these tips into action and I can guarantee you that you will look
ravishing.
* Double chin a problem for you
in photographs? Elongate your neck and push your face outwards (by pointing
your chin down and sticking your forehead out). This will instantly eradicate
any double chin issues and make your face look more defined.
* Want to make sure that the
camera catches your gorgeous eyes but find that you always blink? Keep your
eyes closed. Just before you take that photograph, fractions of a second before
you take it in fact, open up those eyes and say cheese (you don’t have to do
the latter bit, don’t worry). Your eyes will end up being captured in all of
their glory.
* Problems smiling? Stick your
tongue behind your teeth when that photograph is being taken. That should
hopefully wipe that cheesy grin off your mouth. This is actually a technique
utilized by many celebrities who do not want to have that awful wide and fake
smile.
* Are you a female? Then you
absolutely must pick up some blush. Many people find that their face looks
remarkably flat when it is all one color. Blush will help to inject a touch of
dimension into your face and you will look all the better for it.
* Do not face the camera head on.
Even the most beautiful person in the world will look awful if they do that.
You should instead be turning your head slightly. This will help to add a touch
of depth to your face and ensure that all of your gorgeous features just ‘pop
out’.
* If you have the opportunity to
do so you should try to stand in front of a white wall. This should hopefully
help to brighten your face. The main reason why you are standing here however,
is to ensure that the white balance on your camera is able to work correctly.
Standing in front of a white wall will actually stop your skin from appearing too
pink or too yellow in the photograph. Again; this is a technique utilized by
many a celebrity who want to look a touch more photogenic.
* Taller than the person taking
the photograph? You don’t want to be standing up for it then! People will always look better when a photograph is
taken from above them. Photographs looking up at a person will not look good in
the slightest. This is why you will catch most short people sitting down for
their photo opportunities. They tend to look better that way.
