  • One of the biggest challenges is feeling confident posing in public.

  • Usually at landmarks you are fighting between different family members and couples and kids.

  • And sometimes you might feel kind of awkward, like "what do I do with my hands, what do I do with my feet."

  • It could be quite an ordeal, and I totally get it.

  • Today we're going to practice a few of the tips I taught you in my "How to Pose" video.

  • In the video I taught you how to pose to look, taller, leaner, and longer, and more confident when it comes to posing.

  • Be sure to follow me on Instagram to join this month's giveaway.

  • I'm giving away a Polaroid camera like this, so all you have to do is follow me at @FashionbyAlly.

  • Hopefully at the end of this video you'll be a pro at all these poses.

  • How to feel more confident is by just practicing.

  • Just pose in front of a mirror.

  • Try different poses.

  • One of my favorite poses for monuments is adding a walking shot.

  • So I like to walk left to right, or walk towards the camera, or diagonally.

  • It just makes your legs look longer, and leaner, and I look taller.

  • If you're not a fan of showing off your face in photos, you know it's quite hard sometimes to control your face and your body at the same time.

  • So what I love to use is a hat.

  • So I will put the hat on, and I'll usually turn around look at the monument, and then put both of my hands up.

  • And I'll hold on to the hat like this.

  • Or you can also look up to the side and hold on to the brim of the hat in the back and just smile at the camera.

  • By not having your face in the photo, it can make more of the focus on the monument than you.

  • Pose number three is all about the hashtag "follow me."

  • If you've never heard of it before, it's a whole series of photos where women are kind of leading you through different exotic locations and bringing you on to this travel adventure.

  • You can hold on to the back of your hat or you can look straight ahead or just smile.

  • Come with me!

  • Whenever I go to a very famous monument or landmark, I feel like it's so chilly outside, super windy, and usually I wish I had a scarf.

  • Take a few shots where you're just kind of playing around with your scarf or just kind of throwing it over your shoulder.

  • I think this is a really fun pose that anyone can do.

  • In my last how to pose video a lot of you ask me "how do you control your face in photos, like how do you give off such great expressions."

  • A trick really is to just think about something positive in your mind, and I will usually smile and they'll look upward.

  • A fun pose a try is to take a step forward and leap, and kind of do a little skipping step, and that will add a nice little fun pop to your photo.

  • Ah! Being in nature is so relaxing.

  • One are the biggest reasons why I love traveling it's just escaping the city life.

  • Whenever you're traveling and you want to take a nice photo in nature, what I would recommend is not being afraid to get into the flower bush.

  • Let it surround you.

  • Let the flowers frame your face.

  • This is your chance to focus in portrait shots.

  • My tip here is to think of something relaxing.

  • You can hold on to the flowers, pick a few, you can put some in your hair if you like.

  • I like to kind of hold the flowers and then kind of look up and smile.

  • I also love just like playing around with my hair

  • San Francisco is best known for its colorful Victorian houses and colorful walls.

  • Today I'm going to show you how to pose in front of a wall or mural like this.

  • And when it comes to posing, I love to lean against a mural, kick one leg up, or to cross my legs over.

  • And this is a great pose to elongate my legs and to look taller.

  • So what I would recommend doing is trying to match your outfit with the mural or wall.

  • So I have this really gorgeous rainbow top that I've been loving, and I actually matched it with a garage door.

  • Yay! So you've made it to the end of this video. Comment down below and let me know where are you most excited to travel to, and some of your other photo struggles, I would love to help you guys out.

  • Be sure to send me your photos on Instagram. Tag me @FashionbyAlly, and maybe I can critique your photos and give you more tips.

  • I love you guys so so much, and I will see you guys in my next video.
