Photo One: my legs are tucked and close to my body. The effect is a less-than-flattering one that tends to make me look timid and dumpy. .
Photo Two: I look slimmer and exude more confidence. By elongating my legs and arms away from my body, I also come across as more elegant

If you’re wondering what else you can do to make your pictures better, Gigi Hadid, for example, has also attributed good lighting to some of her most popular selfies. “When you’re outside, it’s always good to be in a sunny place, but in the shade facing the light so you’re not overexposed,” she told Vogue.
Grasie Mercedes of Style Me Grasie says a great selfie is all about confidence—but light and angles definitely help, too. “I have to be in the mood to take a selfie for it to come out well. If I force it just to post an Instagram, I end up taking a hundred photos and none of them will look good! If I’m feeling pretty and ready to party; that’s usually when my selfies are their best,” she explained. “How you hold your phone is also very important, so move it around until you find your good side.”

Bambi pose is my favorite for this season. Disclaimer: It’s not comfortable. If you are at home add some accessories around you to give it a summer touch

It’s very easy to allow that quiet negative voice in your head to take over when you’re having your photo taken. Whether you’re in a street full of people or in the middle of nowhere with just you and the photographer, it can start to creep in any place, any time. You may feel concerned what other people will think of you, or but at the end of the day it’s your picture. Try to ignore the rest of the world and silence that voice by having fun.

When we don’t feel 100% comfortable in front of the camera, we tend to generate pressure in our arms. Whether by sticking them to our body or placing them in an uncomfortable position. The solution? Just relax. By eliminating the pressures we will look more elegant and secure, would you try it?

Placing your elbow incorrectly can cause distortion in how you look in front of the camera. If you put your arm on the side, you create a triangle, and that encourages the composition of your photo.

Avoid covering your body. Although I have a triangle in this pose, my body language is insecure. Create a double triangle, and lift the torso for a more powerful look

If you feel bloated. Avoid frontal photos. When positioned on your side, you look less bloated, and create lines with your body

Touch something around. In this case the balcony. If you want to show more curves, exaggerate the curve in your back
