• When it comes to striking a pose for photographs, the right angles and posture can make all the difference in how you appear. Here are a few tips to help you look your best and avoid the dreaded 'double chin' or unwelcome bulk.

    Firstly, angle your body slightly to the side instead of facing the camera straight on. This creates a more flattering silhouette by reducing the appearance of width. Additionally, lean slightly towards the camera and place one foot in front of the other; this helps elongate your frame.

    Next, pay attention to your arm placement. Avoid pressing your arms against your body, which can create a wider appearance. Instead, keep your arms slightly away from your sides, or even place one hand on your hip to create a nice shape.

    Lastly, don't forget about your chin! Tipping your head slightly forward and down, while keeping your neck elongated, can minimise any sagging and create an overall streamlined look. With a bit of practice, you’ll find the poses that flatter you best, making every snapshot a keeper.
