Yay, Chinese New Year is just days away! This is the time for you to gather with family and friends, eat as much as you would and receive angpao. You actually have a reason to dress up and style yourself for your OOTD look. But beautiful clothes alone are not enough, creative and nice poses matter too! And today, we are going to introduce 8 poses so that you can pose like a fashion blogger.
1. THE PLAYING-WITH-HAIR POSE
Not sure what to do with your hand when posing? Play with it! Trying to look sexy in your photo? Flip your hair while looking straight at the camera. There are many ways you can pose with your hair: ponytail, hair all on one side, hair all in front of shoulders etc. So, the next time you try to pose but don’t know what to do with your hands, simply play with it!
2. THE LOOK-BACK-AT-IT POSE
Looking back is the “killer” pose. It can showcase cuteness, sexy or the coolness in you. But remember, try to be real with it instead of giving the “totally didn’t expect that” look. It is best if you could glance back as the camera clicks. So, always let the photographer know when you are ready.
3. THE THREE-SEVEN-STANCE
Stand with your feet slightly apart, and place one foot in front of the other. This helps you look way taller than you actually are, but note that you should not bend your upper body too much, as it will affect the length of your feet.
4. SITTING
To nail a sitting pose, extend your legs with a slight bend or cross your legs and swing them to the side. Remember, don’t show your legs directly in front of the camera or your whole body will be cut in half.
5. WALKING
If you are too shy to make a pose, try snapping your photo with the walking look. Imagine yourself as a celebrity walking the red carpet. Keep your straight back, head up, and look at the camera naturally. You can also flip your hair or talk to someone beside you to look and feel more natural.
6. GRAB A PROP
To avoid the awkward “where should I put my hands” question, one of the best solutions is to grab a prop. It can be anything: a phone, a coffee or a lipstick. Using a prop is great as the shot will look natural and does not feel staged.
7. CHIN ON HANDS
What if you don’t have a prop? Well, you still have your hands, right? This is undoubtedly the simplest and easiest pose. Put your chin on either one hand or both of your hands for a cute youthful shot you will definitely love.
8 THE BACK-VIEW POSE
The classic seaside or sunset beaches shot At the same time, slightly glance back for a more sweet look.
