The Best Poses for Rockstar Photos (Everytime!)

Y

ou can’t avoid being snapped these days, and you already know that people will post your pics on Facebook with lightening speed.  So how can you avoid looking like a half-drunk slouch with a double-chin?  By posing like the pros.

Pose #1: Hands In Pocket Pose

This pose rocks for so many reasons.  You look relaxed.  You look slightly mysterious.  You look slimmer. ‘Nuff said.

Pose #2: The Pageant Stance

This pose is a favorite of pageant girls ’round the world.  Shoulders back, slight lean, hands on hips, and a small ballet stance with the feet.  Slimming, confident, and downright fierce with the right outfit.

Pose #3: One Pocket Wonder

Feet together, one hand in your pocket, demure smile.  Boom!

Pose #4: The “Right Back At Ya”

Pleated skirt, fluffy heels..

So simple…just walk away, and then turn back for one last look….and click! You’ve taken a great shot that looks candid.  Of course, a sassy hand on the hip never hurts, either.

Pose #5: The Lean Forward and Laugh

.

Nothing looks cuter in a photo than a genuine laugh. If there isn’t anything funny to laugh at, make something up!  A warm, friendly smile is the best thing you can do to any pose. Now get to shooting those new Facebook profile pics!
