3 Suggestions for Getting The Most Out of Your Pictures

Suggestion #1 - Head Shot Tips

Head shots are usually one of the first and most basic pictures that a model must have in her portfolio. While you might think this should be a stiff formal picture, just the opposite is true. It should be a relaxed and comfortable shot that features you in middle colors, nothing to drab but nothing flashy either. When you go in for your head shot photo session, wear very little jewelry as you do not want to detract from the beauty of your facial features.

 Suggestion #2 - Learning How to Pose for Model Photos

Look through magazines to find poses you think would work for you, then practice them in the mirror. Have a friend take modeling pictures of you in the various poses so that you can see how they look (not to be used in your portfolio) and make adjustments to your poses.

 Suggestion #3 - Look the Part of a Modeling Professional in Your Pictures

Great posture is a must in modeling and not something that comes natural to anyone, no matter how beautiful the woman or girl is. So, make sure those shoulders are up and the back is straight.

 When you're taking a picture in a sitting pose, make sure that you have your weight shifted to one leg to give the look the right angles. Another tip is to suck in your stomach, no matter how thin you already are. Don't hold your breath while the shot is being taken as it's sure to show in the pictures.
