Tips & Warnings
Round faces look best when showing 3/4 of the face in the picture
To shorten a long face, bow your head slightly forward and bend your body slightly to the left or right.
In order to help avoid red eyes use Visine, and use illumination when possible so a flash is not needed. In addition, count to three and open your eyes when the photographer says "three."
Increase your chances of having good pictures by asking the photographer to take a variety of black and white, colored, posed and candid shots.
Heavy makeup rubs off on everyone you hug, and looks unattractive. It should be avoided at all costs.
Don't wear shimmer makeup. It doesn't photograph well.
When being photographed from below, don't lower your gaze. It causes the impression of a double chin.
Avoid outdoor shots between 11 a.m. and 2 p.m. because everyone will be squinting against the sun.
Don't keep a smile going too long-it will appear strained. Instead, stop smiling in between shots.
Avoid speaking while being photographed. You never know what you will look like in this case.
