1. The light
The light source must never be behind us otherwise we risk being enveloped by a light that will not help us at all and will create unwanted shadows. Before shooting, you or whoever for you, always take a look at the position of the sun or that of the lamps: depending on where you are, you will save on Instagram filters!
2. Never from below (if it is a close-up)

The photos from below can be particularly merciless because they highlight defects and non-existent double minds. Especially if they are selfies, when maybe you want to immortalize your new haircut, avoid them: there is a reason why billboards never prefer this type of shot!
3. Always from below (if it is a full figure)
Mother Nature created us all different, some of us have long legs while others have slightly smaller sizes: if you know how to play with photographs, this will no longer be a problem for you.
In the case of full-length photographs, have them portrayed from below: you will certainly gain a few centimeters!
4. If in doubt, "wear out"

None of us belong to Victoria's Secret Angels but that doesn't mean we can't steal the craft from them (although we most likely won't be wearing wings).
"To wear out", in this case, does not mean "to tire beyond repair" but "to lean imperceptibly to one side or the other in order to make one of the hips thinner": if the models do it too, there is a reason " !
5. Tongue up and neck straight
Romantic profile photo with your boyfriend, even if the person who posts the photos on Facebook is generally a more insecure couple than the others?
There are two small tricks you can take advantage of: the first is very simple, as long as you keep your neck tight, while the second is a trick of the trade. Press the tongue on the palate: your face will be slimmer!
6. Smile but not too much

Are you a fan of nature photos but right now you've just graduated from college and have mom, aunt, dad, grandpa and friends shooting from any angle? Try to smile without exaggerating and remember that the secret is in the eyes. For a smile that fills the room, it is not necessary to show all your teeth: it is the whole face that smiles, not just the mouth!
If you can't, think of the gif above, the one with Di Caprio as a boy and think that in the world there is a boy as handsome as he is. Being happy will certainly be easier.
7. Think about eggs
It sounds like a crazy trick but it really works. If you want the attention of the viewer to be directed to your new lipstick, mimic the word "eggs" with your lips: don't say it out loud otherwise they might think you are crazy. They are not the most aphrodisiac foods in the world though, if can help us ...
These are our 7 tricks, now here's a rundown of star photos for you, before they knew the above tips!
