Going out and having fun is incomplete without taking photos for your social media, but if you still feel awkward in front of the camera and don’t know how to strike a pose, you’ve hit the jackpot with this article!
Today, we’ll share with you a few simple and effortless poses that can easily create a high-end and elegant look in your photos. With the holidays approaching, make sure to grasp these tips and get started!
1.Show off your long legs
Whether you’re leaning against something or sitting down, always cross your legs and extend one leg forward. This will make your legs appear longer in the photos and effortlessly create a sense of French nonchalance and elegance!
2.Pretend to tie your hair
I’ve always found women tying their hair to be incredibly charming, subtly revealing their neck with a hint of allure~
You can tie your hair while walking.
You can also sit on the grass in a park and tie your hair. Remember to extend your long legs when sitting down, and the photos will turn out stunning~
For the skilled ladies, you can even tie your hair with one hand, casually fiddling with a nearby drink or book, creating a scene full of artistic charm~
3.Indulge in self-admiration
When going out, people often like to lean against a railing with a scenic view for photos. However, most people tend to pose with a peace sign or just stand there stiffly. Which one are you?
This time on your vacation, why not learn from French bloggers? Find something to lean against, then tilt your head back more than 45 degrees, close your eyes, and quietly enjoy the gentle breeze on your face.
The key to this pose is to immerse yourself in self-admiration.
Even if you’re not traveling, you can use this pose at home. Put on your favorite slip dress, and it’ll be even easier to capture a great shot for your social media!
The downside is that this head-tilting pose can be a bit taxing on the waist, so those with back issues should avoid it~
You can switch to a pose where you touch your own face, believing in yourself as the most beautiful~
4.Let me see who’s calling me
When taking photos, try to avoid looking directly at the camera. This not only helps avoid awkwardness and stiff poses but also allows for more natural shots.
You can look behind, look to the sides, just don’t look at the camera, creating the illusion that someone nearby is calling out to you.
Isn’t this pose super simple? Without looking at the camera, you don’t need to make any facial expressions, yet you can still create a sense of story~ (Use your best angle and get your photographer moving!)
5.If you don’t take the photo now, I’m leaving
Did you know that you can also capture great shots while walking? Just don’t walk too fast, as it can easily result in a “soul-leaving-body” effect!
You can also take photos from the back while crossing the street. The “back-view killer” is here! Switch to a black and white filter for an atmospheric shot full of story!
You don’t necessarily have to actually walk, but make sure to take larger steps (at least wider than your shoulder width). This not only exudes confidence but also makes your legs appear longer!
If the sun is too glaring, you can slightly shield your eyes with your hand, and a delicate masterpiece will emerge~
6.Take a photo with the sky
If there are too many people outside during the Labor Day holiday and you can’t find a clean background, why not take a romantic photo with the sky?
You can take a photo with the sky alone. Simply tilt your phone at a 45-degree angle on the ground (a low-angle shot), stabilize it with a rock or something, and then you can start posing~
Take photos from various angles, and you’ll surely find the ones you like. If the sun is too bright, you can use your hand to block it. Pair it with an exquisite pose, and every shot will be stunning~
You can also bring your bestie along for a joint photo. Be playful and lively or quiet and cute. Take plenty of shots, and you’ll have a variety to post on your social media, garnering loads of likes~
For women with beautiful side profiles, use more side angles~
If you want to be a bit more playful, you can take photos upside down, and they’ll still turn out great!
7.I truly love studying
Don’t want to go out?
No problem! You can still take fashionable photos at home. Find a good angle, hold a book, and unleash your artistic side. Posting this on social media will even earn you likes from your parents~
Lying down while reading is bad for your eyes, so let’s sit instead. Sit on a well-lit balcony, and you can instantly capture a great shot without any additional poses~
8.Other small photography tips
For ladies who don’t want to show their face, just show your back. It can still be captivating (take multiple shots, and you’ll find the ones you like)~
When going out, eating is a must, so take a photo with your food. Pair it with a pensive expression, and it’ll look great no matter what~
Remember, a girl who loves to laugh will never have bad luck. When taking photos, don’t look at the camera. Just smile with confidence and radiate your strong gentleness!
When your photographer is taking your photo, you can also pick up your own camera and take a photo back. This way, you don’t have to show your face, and it creates a sense of story. It’s also particularly easy to capture a great shot this way!
Capturing these “soul-leaving-body” masterpieces requires skill, so your photographer will have to figure it out themselves~
