Simply Marvelous

The simple truth is cameras are everywhere. And just because we live in a day and age of camera phones does not mean that we are all experts at being photoed. Even the celebrities need tips on how to put their best foot forward.

Tip number one? Put a big mirror on the wall. Then find your pose. This can be fun if you let it be and then you are not winging it when the next photo op arises. To take it a step further, have someone who loves you spend about an hour just taking pictures of you. Then you can see what is hot and what isn't.

Still need help? Practice your smile. Using that same mirror, or the one in the bathroom if you are a little shy, to test out smiles and head positions. And remember that if you look slightly up it is a very flattering angle, especially for women. Now keep practicing until it feel natural.

Now, what to wear? Quite simply get rid of anything that is not your hue, no matter how trendy, you never know when you will end up on Facebook. In other word dress to impress and you are in the clear. You do not have to pull out all the stops all the time; just make an effort, always.

With these three very simple things you should be able to take a fabulous picture anywhere and anytime. You can't always have your hair and make-up perfect or have on your best dress, but you can position your body, break out that radiant smile, and dress to flatter yourself. Say, “Cheese!”
