The Magic Formula for a Fabulous Photo
By Tris Anderson
Is there one perfect way to take a perfect photo? Of course not. But using my tried-and-true trick for nailing the pose will ensure you flatter all the right angles.
Here’s my magic formula for a great photo:
1 / Put a hand on your natural waist (not hip) and bend into it!
2 / Open your feet so there is at least a foot of space between your ankles.
3 / Keep your shoulders relaxed and roll them back, but intentionally keep your posture straight and strong.
4 / Make sure to bring your chin forward instead of tucking it back into your neck.
And then of course…
5 / Smile! With your eyes — every celebrity and professional model’s secret.
Here’s how it’s done:
Be natural, don’t force it. Relax your face and jaw muscles. Engage your eyes, and think about something or someone that makes you happy.
Easy enough, right? Practice in the mirror at home before your shoot, and if you need a little extra coaching on set, our team knows just how to pull the perfect pose out of you for a gorgeous set of images you’ll be proud to share for years to come.
