Now every picture day can be a “Fabulous Photo Friday†if you keep these tips in mind when taking a picture!
When taking group shots, have the whole group yell, "Hey!!!" It makes the photo look like everyone is having the time of their lives.
To appear slimmer in a photo, turn sideways to camera.
When smiling for a photo, part your teeth when you smile. This will make you look more natural and relaxed.
When you're the photographer, make sure your back is to the sunlight or strongest light source. This means the subject should be facing the light.
Keep your arms out so they look slimmer.
Never wear frosts or garish colors, they create a caught-in-the-headlights look. Using little or no makeup isn’t wise either, unless of course it’s a beach setup or for a very casual snapshot.
Stretch your chin out about an inch and bring it down a little to strengthen jaw line. Cleans up a double chin.
Choose solid colors, not patterns, which grab too much attention. Also drop shoulder pads—they’ll make you look enormous in a simple head-and-shoulder shot.
For black-and-white shots, dress in black-and-white clothing.
You can take a great photo of someone in a pitch-black room if you have a flash on the camera.
