Portrait Tips – Ryde – Isle of Wight Portrait Photographer

The magic ingredient to natural portraits?

Posture

The next time you’re about to have your photograph taken, try this:

1. Sit or stand in a comfortable position.
2. Lengthen your spine and ‘sit up tall’.
3. Relax the shoulders.
4. Open up ‘your heart’.
5. Lift up your chin without tilting the head back.

Then take a deep breath – look confidently towards the camera.

These tricks work for everyone ….

Tip 1 – find a comfortable position – resting poses on benches, walls or bridges are perfect.

Tip 2 – lengthen your spine, chest open and take a deep breath to create a confident impression.

Tip 3 – squeeze your shoulder blades together to create elegant neck lines.

Tip 4 – an open heart means shoulder blades drop down, arms in your back pockets or leaning forward over the belt. This creates depth and reduces the appearance of double chins.

Tip 5 – look in the mirror and try ‘chin forward and down’. It really helps to slenderise the neck line.
