How to look good in all your photos

Writer's picture: Mark SashchenkoMark Sashchenko

Looking good in photos often comes down to a combination of preparation, technique, and confidence. Here are some tips to help you shine in every shot:





1. Understand Your Angles

  • Experiment: Find your best angles by experimenting with different poses and facial expressions in front of a mirror.

  • Side Lighting: Light from the side can highlight your best features and create a flattering effect.


2. Pay Attention to Lighting

  • Natural Light: Whenever possible, use natural light. Soft, diffused light (like during the golden hour or near a window) tends to be most flattering.

  • Avoid Harsh Light: Direct sunlight can create unflattering shadows and highlights. Soft, even lighting works best.


3. Master Your Smile

  • Natural Smile: Aim for a smile that reaches your eyes—sometimes called a “Duchenne smile.” It tends to look more genuine and engaging.

  • Practice: Find a smile that feels natural to you. Practice in front of a mirror if needed.


4. Be Mindful of Your Posture

  • Stand Tall: Good posture can make a big difference. Stand up straight with your shoulders back.

  • Relax: Avoid stiff or awkward poses. Relax your body and face.


5. Choose Flattering Outfits

  • Color and Fit: Wear colors that complement your skin tone and clothes that fit well. Avoid overly busy patterns if you want to keep the focus on you.

  • Comfort: Choose outfits that you feel comfortable and confident in.


6. Grooming and Makeup

  • Basic Grooming: Ensure your hair is tidy and your makeup is well-applied if you use it.

  • Touch-ups: Bring a small mirror for quick touch-ups, especially for long events.


7. Be Confident

  • Relax: Confidence shows through in photos. Try to stay relaxed and think positive thoughts.

  • Practice: The more you get used to being photographed, the more natural it will feel.


8. Engage with the Camera

  • Eye Contact: Looking directly at the camera often results in a more engaging and captivating photo.

  • Connection: Try to connect with the camera as if you’re connecting with a person.



Remember, the most important thing is to be yourself. Genuine moments and expressions often make the best photos!
