and today's video is about posing for photos.

I know it can feel pretty awkward and daunting

but it doesn't always have to feel that way.

This is why I've whipped up ten of my go-to poses

so it just makes life easier in front of the camera,

make sure you're subscribed, the button is down below,

All you've got to do is find a wall and lean on it.

You can lean on it sideways for something more

laid back and chill, or you can lean on it just directly

for something that's more straightforward.

But my little pro tip is to kind of arch your back

but directly it just slims you down and makes you look good.

and this is when you have your legs crossed.

the pose looks a lot more dynamic as opposed to just

having my legs just parallel next to each other.

I feel like the pose looks a little flat that way,

but when you've got it crossed, I feel like it elongates

your figure and it's just more flattering to your body.

If I'm not wearing heels, I always make sure to tiptoe.

and when you are tiptoeing, you're flexing your legs

so it looks leaner and elongates your body.

and this is pretty much like the previous pose,

So instead of just having one leg other the other,

you're actually gonna give yourself a little one-two step.

I find that when you try and physically walk,

it's hard for the photographer to capture that moment,

It looks really dumb in real life, but I swear

when you get the photo, it's totally gonna be worth it.

I find that the most difficult part about The Strut

for some reason is I always blink when I walk.

I don't know why, but just try and keep your eyes open,

for something that's a little bit more candid.

So pose number four is called The Coy Arms,

and I decided to name it this because when I do this pose,

it kind of looks like you're a little coy,

but this is when you have one hand and you place it

on your elbow, your forearm, or even your wrist.

Even the shoulder, I mean depending on the mood

that you're going for or the variety of shots

you want to take, just basically move your hand

One little pro tip is like to pop up my shoulder,

just to give it a little bit more of an elongated arm,

because it looks like it starts from here

So the next pose is called The Candid Hands,

and this is essentially just keeping your hands busy.

One of my favorites is just a little ear tuck,

like you're just kind of adjusting yourself,

Just kind of fix your hair behind your ear even,

keeping your arms moving and your hands busy,

I feel like that always translates really well

If you're wearing an outfit that has pockets,

definitely use them because you can just throw your hands

in your pockets and you don't have to worry about posing

them, it just looks like you're keeping your hands warm.

make it look like you're reaching something out of there,

and if you don't have any pockets but you got some

belt loops, those work too, just throw your thumbs in.

Kinda looks a little cowgirly but I think it looks cool too.

If you still can't figure out what to do with your hands,

My favorite one is definitely a drink in your hand,

maybe a Starbucks cup or a mug, a cup of coffee.

you can throw both hands on them, take a little sippy sip.

It's just about interacting with something in your photo

as opposed to just standing there blankly.

are staircases because I just love how relaxed they look.
