Place one leg in front of the other, Eva Longoria, Halle Berry style. You will find this helps them look longer. Knees should be a slightly bent, without locking them and point your feet in front. Shoulders should rotate three-fourths to the front to make you and your waist look slimmer.
Wear colours that suit you. Hide your blemishes. Determine your best angle. Get rid of a double chin by tilting your head down slightly and positioning yourself so that the camera is above your eye level. Exhale, don’t hold your breath in and think happy thoughts to put a natural smile on your face.
