Simple pose rules

Turn your shoulders slightly, keep your face toward the camera, relax your jaw, and use a small expression that fits the role you want to project.

  • Avoid extreme angles and dramatic expressions.
  • Keep hands out of frame unless directed.
  • Choose the final photo by trust, not novelty.
