The No. 1 trick for looking better in photos: Make sure the camera is positioned higher than your head, pointing slightly down at you. Once the photographer is in position, Cantrell advises that you:
drop your chin a little
look slightly upwards
lean forward a bit
"This is a very flattering way to photograph anyone," she says. "You minimize [and effectively hide] the appearance of a double chin, and raising your eyes upwards makes your eyes appear larger and minimizes the little bag of skin we all have above our eyes that can make them look hooded."
Fix: Angle Your Body a Bit
By utilizing a few subtle angle tricks, you can slim the entire silhouette of your body, Cantrell says:
turn your body 45 degrees to the right or left
slightly bend the knee that's closest to the camera
shift your weight to the hip that's furthest from the camera
position your upper body so that the area between your bust and your arm faces front
You may have noticed that celebrities have this pose down pat on the red carpet, and for good reason. "Facing straight into the camera makes you look bigger," Cantrell says. "When you push your back hip away from the camera, it also pushes your butt, our biggest part, away from the camera. Shifting your weight to the leg that's farthest from the camera also makes you look more relaxed."
Tip: Arms Away!
Want to make your biceps look less beefy? The golden rule of arms is to always hold them slightly away from your body and lean forward just a bit. "When you pull your arms in close to your body, they become an extension of the chest area and make you look bigger than you are," says Cantrell. "And if you lean forward slightly, your face will be closer to the lens of the camera than your arms, making them less predominant."
