Bright Side gathered several examples that demonstrate the magic ofstriking apose infront ofthe camera. Just compare how different the same body can look in2different photos taken within seconds ofeach other.
1. Accent the foreground
The most important thing you need toremember isthe closer anobject isplaced infront ofthe camera, the bigger itwill look inthe photo. You should always remember this, especially ifyou want toaccentuate your hips and your bottom. For example, agood angle isthe one from the side. Shift your body weight tothe leg that ispositioned closer tothe camera. Your butt will look more round. The other leg should bemoved abit infront ofyou. This way, itwon’t blend with the front leg and your whole pose will look well-proportioned.
2. Even volume
Another way tomake your booty look great istotake aphoto standing atahalf-turn. Shift your body weight tothe leg that ispositioned closer tothe camera. The other leg should bemoved back sothat both cheeks look round. Otherwise, ifyou put the “far” leg infront ofyou, itmight look flat and way too thin inthe places you least want itto.
3. Graceful silhouette
Don’t turn your stomach oryour whole body tothe camera; you’ll end uplooking sluggish. You should tuck your tummyin, move your tush back, and curve your lower back. Spread your shoulders and move your upper body abit forward. Thus, your hands will befurther from the camera and won’t look massive. Tomake your legs look better, shift your body weight tothe back leg and stand onthe toes ofthe other leg.
4. Curves
One ofthe key features ofall successful photos ofthe female buttocks isagood curve ofthe lower back. The more prominent the curveis, the more round your buttocks become. Here’s some special advice about the choice ofclothes when itcomes tojeans, shorts, and bikini bottoms: it’s better topull them abit higher than you usually wear them. This little trick will create the visual effect ofafit body.
5. Lean forward
Posing with your back tothe camera has its nuances. Lean abit forward and curve your lower back. Tomake the photo even better, you can put your hands upinthe air. Your waist will look smaller and the whole body will appear proportioned.
6. Hips onthe same level
When you take aphoto, stand with your back tothe camera, but doahalf-turn towardit. This way, your buttocks will look great even ifyou don’t shift the body weight toone ofyour legs. Remember the main thing— it’s better toslightly bend your leg atthe knee and put your weight onyour toes. Your hips will beonthe same level and your butt will look toned.
7. Long legs
There’s one good rule that always applies tositting positions: donot slouch and hold your back straight. Cross your legs and put the knee ofthe upper leg abit higher. The other leg should bestretched inthe direction ofthe camera.
8. Move the hips back
This trick works best ifyou’re standing atahalf-turn ortaking aphoto from the side. Shift your body weight tothe back leg, bend the front leg atthe knee, and put itonthe toes. The pose isalmost the same asifyou’re making asmooth round movement with your hips. Your hips will look firm and round. The hand should beplaced onyour waist.
9. How tohandle the hands
The position ofyour hands inaphoto has quite animportant meaning. For example, when posing inprofile, don’t put your hand onthe hip and don’t cover itwith your fingers. This way, you end uphiding your own curves. It’s best toput your hand abit above the hip without touchingit. This ishow models create the effect ofafit body.
10. Model poses
Ideally, the model’s hands should beproperly placed tomake the pose look complete and harmonious. Aswementioned above, you can put your hands onthe hips. Remember, hands and arms shouldn’t look tense. Aninteresting pose iswith both hands bent atthe elbows. One isslightly hugging the waist, the other isalmost perpendicular tothe first. Wrists and hands should berelaxed, placed closer tothe chin ortowhere the hair ends. It’s also very important tomind your posture. Ifyou want totake ahigh-profile shot, it’s not necessary tobend orslouch your back— just lean your shoulders forward.
11. Posing onyour knees
Itdoesn’t matter ifyou take aphoto from the back orfrom the side— the rule isthe same. First, position your knees apart from each other. Second, don’t sit down onyour heels. It’s better tolift your body abit and curve the lower back. Your curves will look really attractive.
12. Accentuate your hips infront photos
Interestingly, you can accentuate your hips even ifyou take aphoto facing the camera. Don’t stand like asoldier. It’s better toshift your body weight toone side and move your hip there too. Your whole silhouette will look more elegant with the right emphasis onyour beautiful curves.
