This week’s “Glamour Girl” post  is a MUST READ for every glamour girl: HOW TO LOOK YOUR BEST IS A PHOTOGRAPH!

So here’s what you need to do to make the most of your time in front of a camera…

Brush your hair quickly in case it’s sticking up and check that you don’t have anything stuck in your teeth.

Don’t face the camera head-on. Turn your body slightly to one side-but keep you head facing forward for a more natural pose.

Don’t look directly into the lens-instead look slightly to the side. This lessens the chance of having red eye.

Press your tongue to the roof of your mouth, lift your chin slightly as though you are stretching to look over a high garden fence and SMILE. (Hopefully this tip will help to avoid any unflattering shadows under your chin.)

 (Looks like Wonder Girl forgot to “look over the garden fence”.)

If your photographer is using a flash, widen your eyes a little just before the flash so that you are not caught with your eyes closed.

 (Great example of “open eyes”.)

Try not to stand with your back to the light-as it will make you appear as a silhouette. (This could be frightening!) 

 (The ultimate “silhouette” shot.)

People always look good in a photograph when they are laughing. Try to think of something funny just before the shot so you may be caught at your best possible moment.

And the final fabulous photo idea-if you are having one of those “I feel fat” days-try this poise. You’ll instantly look thinner.

Happy Posing!
