Pose like a star - how to look great in every photo

So, after recently seeing some photos of myself on Facebook where I looked either pregnant or double chinned, I wanted to invest in some lessons on how to ensure I look like my best (non-pregnant) self on film. Thankfully, the people at Kodak sent along a few helpful tips:


1.       Practice Makes Perfect – before leaving for the big night set yourself up in front of the mirror to determine your best angle. This will also make you more comfortable on the “red-carpet” which will show in photos.
2.       Stay Focused – flitting your eyes from one camera to another will have you looking confused (and make you feel dizzy!). Instead, slowly pan your head from left to right and then back again – making sure to pause on each camera.
3.       Use the “Model Pose” – with one arm on the hip rotate the top half of your body towards or away from the camera. A little twist gives the appearance of an hourglass figure and makes the waistline appear smaller.
4.       No Slouching (one I definitely need to work on)– shoulders back and chin up. Hunched shoulders can make you appear heavier than you are and a double chin is not a nice accessory. Proper posture will shine through in the picture and make you appear more confident.

In addition, they added a few tips any blogger or social media maven would love. Their new EASYSHARE M590 Digital Camera has a 5X optical zoom ensuring you get a front row-worthy photo every time. Whether you're using it to capture the looks and people at the season's hottest events, or just using it to for a night out with the girls, it's a great way to get zoom-lens photos with a stealth, automatic you've stored in your pocket.
