Look leaner: cover the gaps. Paris HiltonA handy tip on how to appear narrower is to cross your one leg over the other, placing your hands on your hips instead of standing straight up with your arms falling to the side.
Here's how to be more photogenic
-
It’s all about the angle.
Lee-Ann Liebenberg
So get it right. For a more interesting composition, angle your body away from the camera as opposed to a full-on view. It makes you seem three dimensional instead.
-
The closest limb looks biggest.
Pamela AndersonChoose your best asset and put it on display. If you have great breasts, for instance, then push it towards the camera. But, remember to stretch and elongate your body so you won’t look slouched. Arch your back to make this position easier.
-
Find your best side.
Gabrielle UnionDecide which side (left or right) flatters your features best, then angle it toward the camera. If you like that dimple on your left cheek, for example, then tilt your face to flaunt it.

Caution: Avoid the double chin!
Anne HathawayDo not pull your head back to rest against your chest; it creates a layer of skin that deceptively looks like a double chin. Rather, edge your chin forward. This will lengthen your neck, making it appear graceful.
-
Be creative.
Kim KardashianTo be different, try over the shoulder gazes where the picture is taken from behind to display your back and butt. Remember to keep your head down but your eyes up.

Posing with your guy?
Beyonce & Jay-z Don’t be afraid to guide him bearing in mind what you have just learnt. Push your body against his & shift your weight to one of your hips: whichever one is facing the camera. Arch you’re back and lean in; the point of this is so that you frame his form. Try resting your head on his shoulder to be more affectionate or allow him to loosely snug his arm around your waist.
