- It is all good and great
people telling you to feel great about yourself
and be confident, and just get to used to who you are
and all the body positivity stuff.
Sure, that's really great.
But the problem is you stand in front of the mirror
and think you look great, but then you go out later on
and someone takes a photo of you
and you look like a disaster.
That is not what you certainly look like.
You thought you were slaying life,
you thought you looked damn good.
You start thinking to yourself,
am I delusional for thinking I look good,
what is wrong with me, damn I must be ugly,
but honey it's most likely the fact
that you just don't know how to pose properly
and there are some tricks that models have up their sleeves
that make them look so good.
So, without further ado.
(snapping)
Dogs!
If I have to have a shitty background,
I'm gonna pick myself out.
At least you aren't distracted by that.
Let's get into the video.
This video is gonna be the most comprehensive
analysis and tutorial on how to pose.
I'm gonna teach you all the tricks and tips
you need to know for a good pose
so you no longer have to feel crap about yourself.
Because we all know that when you feel great,
you do great work and you can slay the world.

Start at your core so
you first and foremost need to engage your core
because when you're slouching, it doesn't look good honey.
Engage your tummy muscles so you are making abs
even if you don't have abs.
And pull your shoulders back and try to them look relaxed
not like crazy back, just back enough
so that your posture looks great,
and you look powerful and confident.

Separate your limbs from your body.
You don't want to become like a little log,
you have arms for a reason so separate them from your body
and also on that note, squishing anything against your body
is going to make it look bigger
so lift your arms away from your body.
That also go for your legs when you're sitting.
Try to lift them off the surface
so you're not squishing your legs down
and making them appear larger.
Usually 45 degree angle for anybody
looks great because you're not just square on,
you're turning your body just a little bit
which is what we want.
We want to give the impression of angles.
For some girls it does look good straight on,
but you really have to figure out
if that works good for your body.
If not, safely just look at 45 degree angles.
Sitting poses are all about angles.
Angles, angles, angles.
Here are some examples of what looks great.
Everything is separate from from each other,
very interesting shapes done with legs and arms and so forth
(bass heavy music)
One leg in front of the other, always a good way to go.
One arm in the front of the other,
always a nice little touch, just as with the sitting poses:
create angles with your body.
Legs, arms, sit into your hips,
so put all your weight into one leg
and push your hip out a little bit,
it gives the impression of fake curves.
It's amazing.
Photographs of women are generally all about
creating those curves so curve it up,
show off those curves, even if you don't have any like me.
All of the same principles apply,
leg forward, create expressions, and take a lot of snaps
because quite often one girl
doesn't look good 'cause she was blinking or so forth
so take a lot of snaps.
Make sure that everyone is happy with the photograph.
But honestly group photos like this
still make me the happiest.
So don't forget, like get the professional photo
if you want to, but then take a selfie
just for your personal storage and embrace the moment.
Show off the energy of the moment, the love that was shared.
Our life is not Instagram, our life is not posed photographs
so make sure you're still real.

Very often, once the camera starts snapping, we freak out.
So having a go-to facial expression
prevents that from happening.
Figuring it out beforehand with selfies
helps you figure out what looks best on you.
Which side of your face you like more,
what facial expressions you like more.
Memorizing facial expressions so when the camera's on
you can bring it.
What is your favorite side of the face.
Certain models love a certain side of their face.
These are examples of professional models
that quite often just see one side of their face
on all of their photos.
For a lot of us, it's straight onto the camera
and choosing either one or the second side.
For me, I don't like this side.
I always generally turn
about 45 degrees or straight on.
Not everybody has a side of their face they love more,
so if you're one of those people that loves both sides:
congratulations.
This can be done through sitting really close to a window
which is what I'm doing right now.
All of that beautiful light coming my way.
Or if you're outside and the sun is shining,
tilt your head up so you are right in that sun.
Try to avoid harsh shadows on your face,
specifically dark bags under the eyes.
Not so good.
This sucks, but it works.
So start ridiculously laughing and being a twat
and then you will break out into a real laugh
and it's hilarious.

Chin forward and down.
I don't know why, but it works.
For straight on photos, it works a treat.
What Winnie Harlow is doing here, chin forward down,
and she's piercing the camera.
She's like looking straight through the camera,
squinting her eyes just a little bit.
And as Tyra Banks says, "Smile with those eyes."
(bass heavy music)
I am guilty of this one, you have relax your lips open
just a little bit.
Relaxing your lips open makes you look more comfortable
because I grind my teeth.
I am like always clenched and it doesn't look good on photos
Relax your lips just a tiny little bit.
So whenever you're talking to someone,
you are like engaged and your head is shifting,
you never sit there like this because that's really awkward
and something's not right if you do that.
Same with photographs so you can tilt your head forward,
back, sideways, a little bit,
just figure out what looks good on you and then
work with that.
(bass heavy music)
Laughing too much actually doesn't look good on photos
because you are like generally in a very heavy laughter
like hahaha!
Doesn't translate very well.
What you can do is still do your fake laugh
which will translate into real laughter.
Laugh like crazy, and when you're laughing like crazy
ask someone to just snap a lot of photos of you
and there'll be one in there that looks really good,
that isn't like the extreme smile, but the smallest smile.
And while we're on the topic of smiling,
fake smiling just doesn't look good.
Like it's very ugly (mumbles).
(laughing)
Deer in the headlights look
doesn't look good.
So relax your eyes a little bit.
(bass heavy music)
You need to work with what your momma gave you
because there is absolutely no purpose or reason
