i came across this when i was reading the mag again.. it actually teaches people how to look smashing in a pic.. and these are what you can do to make it a million dollar pic..
1) Exude Confidence
Bring along a fashion item that makes you feel good about yourself and make yourself more confident..
2) Find your Best Angle
Spend time posing in front of the mirror to find the most symmetrical side of your face to photograph. Practice, Practice, Practice..
3) Cock your head
This actually means you don't have to look staright into a camera when taking a pic.. cocking your head slightly is always flattering.. Push your chin down to look slimer but it won't work if you've got a long face.. Tilting your head to the side usually makes you look better unless you have a strong jaw.. So look in the mirror again to find the best angle..
4) Think Happy Thoughts!!
When you're smiling or laughing for the camera, think of things that make you happy, like your pet doggie, boyfriend/girlfriend, etc..
5) Rest the Eyes
Tired eyes can spoil a pic so it is best to relax them by closing them for a few seconds between shots..
