You can count on certain tips and tricks to bring out the best in your persona while shooting photos of yourself.

Lean Against the Wall

Think you don’t have the perfect posture? No worries! You can lean back against a wall or a support to look totally natural. You will be surprised by how easy you feel while reclining against a support.

Why not lean back against a cool auto? Great cars and men were meant to be in awesome photos after all.

No Cheesy Grins Please

An exaggerated smile may look inadvertently hilarious or just plain contrived.

Unless you have a winning flashing photogenic smile, there is no need to grin. A warm smile with do just as well in fact, better.

Power Pose

A strong posture is a surefire winner. It can make you both look and FEEL confident. Feeling confident is imperative if you want the best photos.

Keep your shoulders and head perfectly square. Keep that back absolutely straight – no slouching!

A strong posture can impart strength and stability to your persona and make you look AND feel better.
