How to Pose for Pics and Look Instantly Snatch

Wanna look great in your Instagram or Facebook pics? You have to pose like a pro. But knowing how to hold your body isn’t the only way to look like an IG model. Maybe you’re using bad lighting, or pressing your arms against your torso, which makes you look 10 pounds heavier. See?

Bet you didn’t even know that was a thing…

Lighting Is Everything

Avoid direct sunlight. It’s harsh on your skin. Find natural overhead light by a window when the sun’s above you, or snap pics outside when it’s slightly overcast. Also, use a ring light. YouTubers and IG models are obsessed with them because they casts circular light that eliminates shadows.

One Leg in Front Makes You Look Natural

If you have no idea about what to do with your body when someone picks up a camera, remember this trick: Stick one leg in front. It’ll make your body look more elongated and looks 100 times better and less awkward than standing there with your arms to the side and your legs straight.

Avoid a Double Chin, That’s Never Attractive

Posture is important. So even if it feels awkward as hell, stick your neck up and then stick your face forward. You don’t have to go overboard to the point where it starts to hurt. Chill. Breathe. Now smile with your eyes and push your face forward slightly so your double chin remains hidden.

Be Careful Where You Place Your Arm

Don’t squish your arms against your body. It looks awkward and makes your arms wider. And if they’re shooting you at a 45-degree angle, you’ll look so disproportional that you’ll want to delete the entire photo shoot. Put your hands on your hips or play with your hair.

You’ll look more relaxed.
