With social media making almost every gathering a holiday, and
with many actual holidays upcoming, the photos will be taken, posted,
liked and commented on before you can say "cheese"! In order to empower yourself to embrace
photo taking, please consider the following 7 Ps to Photo Empowerment:
- Pick your best side (we each have one, and yet it could vary by the day, so check it out!) and make an effort to get that side facing, so to speak (and resist saying "this is my best side", rather consider saying "I'll happily take this end" when you are in a row of people, or even it is just two of you)
- Plant your back foot and lean your weight on it (this serves to keep you from leaning, and pull in your abdomen for balance, creating a lean look)
- Point your front foot (without bending your knee, rather keeping that leg straight)
- Place hand on your outer hip(or put hand at your side with a slight bend - most men, and some women prefer this to the "hand on your hip" look)
- Position shoulder (on camera-facing side by rolling your shoulder to get good posture, get your shoulders aligned, and keep your chest up and out)
- Peer out of your eyes (by widening them and looking up as you dip your chin)
- Play up those Pearly Whites (finish the powerful and fun photo by giving a real, sincere smile with a pop of personality)
By
quickly giving your pictures these 7 Ps, you'll likely want to share,
tag, and feel good about all the shots you are in this year!
