6 Secrets To Make You Look Beautiful In Photos
466Kviews
So you want to look great in your photos, but after years of taking grim, mug-shot passport photos, you’ve forgotten how to smile. Fear not! Ohio-based photographer Jodee Ball recommends these six tips to transform your photos from police-station photo-lineups into stylish, magazine covers.
First, strike a carefree pose. Shake that guilt out of your shoulders! Second, turn your body three quarters away from the camera; this will make you harder to identify if you are in a police-lineup. Third, lower-yours hands. You’re not being held-up, after all. Fourth, lower your shoulders and fifth, bend your knee. Finally, tilt your head slightly, and voila, you’re a model!

The lady in photos is beautiful however she poses....
I agree, she looks great in all the poses.
What a refreshingly nice thing to read on the internet.
Exactly!
Precisely!
Aw that's so nice! Lovely to read NICE comments on sites such as this. Thank you x.
There should be the same facial expression on both photos to really show the difference
"..after years of taking grim, mug-shot passport photos, you’ve forgotten how to smile.." of course facial expression is involved
To be honest, especially the last one, it looked better without the tilted head. It depends a lot in the persons figure/face how to pose. And also how you place the light/flash. As well as what mood you want in the picture. But I think a lot of the poses are stanard stock-photo poses. On the last picture, tilting her head makes her nose look bigger. But that could be fixed with a different angle from the flash/light.
I agree.
you're right, there is where the photographer ability is (or should be): look at people and understand the best angle/pose. The goal of the article was more on create dynamism, depth and a better use of body language
