How to Take Beautiful Pictures to Look Gorgeous
It's no secret that the vast majority of people experience an indescribable stupor in front of the camera. As a result, we are afraid to look unphotogenic, and unattractive in the photo. Therefore, the editors of "So Simple!" will tell you how to pose beautifully in order to successfully turn out in the photo.
HOW BEAUTIFUL TO POSE
Our reader kindly shared these posing tips. He still remembers his wise and experienced photography mentor. The teacher often gave instructions to his models during the photo shoot. He even developed a whole set of tips on postures and positions of the arms, legs, head, and so on. It is about the general positions of the legs in the frame that we will talk about today.
It is important to note that all the tips in this article work differently on thin and curvy models. More precisely, the recommendations presented are even more relevant for ladies in the body, because wrong postures can only emphasize the imperfections of the figure. Nevertheless, every woman will find something useful for herself. So, in order!

1. Leg Position If You Are Sitting
To make your legs visually appear longer, do not press them to yourself, but straighten them. It is also worth pulling the sock in the direction of the leg.
Consider the features of optics. If you stretch your legs straight into the camera, they won't "lengthen". It is best to stretch your legs away from the photographer and take horizontal shots.
By crossing your legs, you risk visually expanding your hips. And if they are open, then you can also flash cellulite into the camera. So closed hips will help to avoid these troubles.
Pulling your knees towards you and hugging them with your hands is not possible for everyone. However, this pose is very interesting and is often used in professional shootings.
Sitting on a chair or in an armchair, you can spread your legs wide, and place your hands between them. For such a pose, of course, you need to choose long skirts, dresses or just trousers.
2. Leg Position If You Are Standing
Only tall models can pose with crossed legs in a standing position to face. If the legs are rather short, then this pose can only make them visually shorter. It is also best not to cross your legs at the hips. Crossed shins will suffice.
In the photo, try to stand on both legs with equal strength. In other words, there should be only one supporting leg. At the same time, take the pelvis and thigh slightly to the side to give the silhouette an S-shape.
It is also possible and necessary to place the legs at different levels. To do this, use steps, low ramps, and the like.
3. Leg Position If You Are Lying Down
To make your legs visible in the frame (if the photographer is shooting from your eye level), lift them up by bending at the knees. This is a classic cute pose in the supine position.
Lying on your side, straighten your lower leg, leaving a slight bend in the knee. Bend the other leg a little more. At the same time, pull the toes forward. You can also slightly bend the waist. All this is guaranteed to add grace to your frame.
4. Crossed Legs
Do not cross your legs in a standing position with great tenacity. Otherwise, your calves will look "flattened".
With your legs crossed, make sure that there is a small space between your feet. If this is not done, the legs will become one continuous spot in the frame.
5. Feet And Socks
Socks almost always need to be pulled forward. Especially when shooting barefoot.
Feet should usually be in a natural position. Do not spread them apart and do not bring them too far inward.
When shooting while standing, you can safely put one foot on the toe and slightly raise the heel.
