Steps


Posing the Face

  1. Angle your face. It is best to avoid taking a photo of the face straight-on. This allows for no shadows, which makes the face look wider and adds the extra “ten pounds” cameras are known for.

    • Angle your face slightly away from the camera, so that shadows are created along the cheekbones and the nose.
    • Tilt your chin down. Having a high chin looks unnatural, but also positions the camera to look up the model’s nose.
    • Avoid severe angles. Let the model move their head comfortably, so that their pose does not look forced.
