Future simple

so I'm not a model and I probably never will be one.

To-infinitive

I'm five foot one, But over the past year, I took my photo every single day to find my personal style, and I posed a lot.

So in that time I really figured out how to pose for my body style and how I just feel confident.

So I just want to show you some of my tips and tricks that I've learned along the way, and I really hope they help.

So first I'm gonna go through some initial tips, and then I'm gonna go into like, facial poses because that matter's too.

And then I want to show you my actual go to poses that I personally use.

So first, I cannot recommend enough thio stand up straight in a photo.

It's going to make you look so much taller and just more poised, And the best way I can describe this is I pretend that I'm six feet tall.

I like to pretend that there is a string that is just holding me up like a marionette, and this is just really good for your health.

To posture is really connected with even how you how confident you feel.

It's so cool to see that connection and it comes through and photos.

I like to keep my limbs away from my body.

I want to keep my arms away from my torso and I want to keep my legs separate if I can, because then my arms are gonna look a lot more slimmer.

I also like to keep my legs looking elongated, and so any time that I can keep my legs a bit separate, it's going to really help next.

Going along with that idea of keeping my arms away from my body.

If I look stiff in a photo, it's gonna look like I'm not that confident.

But if I just own it and I'm a little bit more confident just by creating some angles with my body, it's going to really help and just trying to keep things a little bit loose and natural is so important.

Next, it's really important if you want to look taller in a photo that the photo is taken down lower.

So kindly ask the person who's taking your photo at Disney World, too, just like crouch down because that will make you look a lot taller.

Or if you have a tripod set up, set it up to where it's probably like hip height would be really important.

If someone is towering above you taking your photo, you're not going to look taller.

So if you want to look taller in a photo, be sure that your photo is being taken down lower okay, onto facial expressions.

I noticed it when I'm talking on a video like this, but a lot of times all talk in like there's a total double chin happening here, and I don't know why I'm working on it, but I just kind of naturally do that when I talk when I'm in a photo, I really try to be intentional with this.

So instead of keeping my head kind of up and my chin back, it's really important.

In a photo to be able, Thio put my shoulders kind of back that already is gonna help, and then I just try to keep my head closer to the camera, and then I try to just look down or I can still like he my eyes on the camera, and that looks great, too.

As long as I'm thinking about having my chin downward, then that's gonna really help.

It's also gonna help to not show so much nostril like anything that's more flattering will be.

If your head is pointed a little bit downward while you're pulling your chin downward, it's important to not push it back into your neck because that's going to still have that like chin thing that's going on.

So if you just keep it kind of outward and down, then you're going along.

You're gonna look completely flattering and long and elegant.

Next is the squinting technique, even though I like my eyes to be the focal point of my face by adding makeup more so on my eyes than anything else, That doesn't mean I want to have a really wide eyes in a photo.

It can be a bit creepy or off putting, and it's a lot more elegant and even chill.

If I don't do that and I sort of squint my eyes, so it should be not like I'm squinting because it's too bright out.

But if I just, like, try to focus on squinting the inner part of my lower lids, then it gives me a little bit of like smolder, but not over the top.

Take some selfies and really figure out what works best for your own face in your eyes.

So, guys, the timing of this could not be more perfect.

But there is a flock of ducks that are outside my window right now, and they're quacking and it's the cutest thing.

The reason why I say that is because my next point is the duck face, honestly, like their ducks outside.

But the duck face is something that's abused online, like, you know, when you pucker e lips really a lot and it's China looked like a cute kiss, but I don't know.

It's just not the most flattering all of the time, and sometimes it just looks like it's trying too hard.

A better way to do that is more of a cool smirk slash you know, just trying to do A small pucker has a really nice effect, and you can see side by side sometimes, Like I can't even do this with a straight face to do a duck face.

But if you just try to kind of tone it down, you can still kind of get the same vibe that you were looking for with just a very like cool tone.

So I want to talk a little bit more about a smirk so you don't want to look conniving and devious with a smirk like the Grinch.

But you also don't want to look like you're upset.

It's actually funny, because sometimes in my photos, if I'm not thinking about it and someone takes the candid photo of me, I can look kind of upset just because when I'm not, like smiling and present on camera sometimes like my face will just kind of be like, and I'm not being sad at all.

So I try to smile and everything a lot more, but one nice way to do that on a picture is to be able to just kind of have a little bit of a smirk.

to just think unhappy, like I'm content and that comes across on camera.

Next, a smile that's too big can be really off.

Putting to it might look like someone who's just really happy.

Or it might look like Okay, what's going on here?

And so you wanted to be something that is more genuine.

There's been studies done actually on what type of photo and advertising does really well.

And that one's more of like a gregarious, just kind smile.

And so, if you can kind of tone that down and create a smile that just feels very natural, like you're not super excited to go on the next roller coaster ride.

But you're like chill like That's cool, you know?

You know, that's the type of vibe that you want to give off in a photo, and sometimes that'll mean with teeth showing.

But it might be something where you just have your teeth not showing and your lips closed.

I do that a lot more so in photos, that's all have, like no teeth showing.

Okay, so now I want to show you guys how I actually pose thes air like my go to poses.

I try to just figure out kind of what works with what I'm wearing.

The shoes I'm wearing and the pants and you know how everything fits is really important.

Definitely take advantage of how my pants can lengthen my legs.

My go to pose is something like this where I'm putting most of the weight on the back part of my leg.

I don't put any weight on what's toward the camera.

So already that just slims everything down a lot and looks really flattering in these pants.

Another thing that I try to do is point my me and figure out how I want that too.

Look, so this can look a lot different than something like that.

So if I was up front like this wouldn't have the same effect as if I'm kind of leaning and then I just kind of figure it out.

I mean, it depends a lot on what you're wearing, but the principles are kind of there.

So and then from there, I can just figure out how I want my hands, something like this would be really good if the pants are just not really flattering.

My guys, this much I can do some like that or just kind of be slouchy with it.

There's a different things, and whatever I feel is most confident is what really matters.

So sometimes I'll even like, play with my fingernails a little bit, and that's just kind of a fun look, too.

And that kind of helps to If in my photo I want to, like, highlight any jewelry on my hands or bracelets or anything that'll work a lot.

I realized I could do something like back pockets is good.

I don't mind shrugging so much with this, but any time I can put my shoulders back is a good thing.

So next, if you just really want to stand straight on, you can.

But there's different things that I would do for that.

If my legs are a little bit further part, I like to have my toes a little bit at an angle.

I wouldn't even necessarily go straight on like this, but just like having a little bit of an edge that actually pushes a little bit of my weight on one hip, even though I'm standing straight on.

Then, from there, I could just kind of figure out what works.

Well, it's cute with the outfit Benji on me.
