Tips for senior pictures?

Question

I'm having my senior pictures taken next week, does anyone have any tips to make sure they turn out well? I'm taking one with my guitar but other than that i don't have any poses planned. I'm kinda chubby in my midsection so I want a pose that's flattering. Any ideas or tips?

Answer 1

Well I'm guessing you mean you're getting you're pics done at a studio not at your school. I'm getting mine done next week too. I've been reading tips and what I found is that you shouldn't wear tank tops because they make you're arm look larger than it really is. Make sure you're nails are painted and in a neutral color. It's cool that you're posing with your guitar. props make for great pics so if you have a letterman jacket bring it or if you play a sport bring you're uniform or ball. For your middle section don't wear shirts that have prints or patterns on them. Don't worry and SMILE!!

First, remember the most flattering look is to simply accentuate your best features in a natural way. You want the look of "yourself" captured at this moment in your life. To help, keep in mind these considerations:

Unless your school offers color options for gowns, you'll be forced to wear a color that may not complement your skin tone.

You'll be facing a situation that is hot, crowded and will last for several hours, so you want to feel comfortable and look fresh whenever possible.

There will be a lot of different photo situations. Keep in mind that in addition to your friends' candid shots and your family's posed portraits, there will also be the school's professional portrait photographer positioned near the stage, your school's newspaper photographer and even local or regional professional photojournalists there to cover the event. Your lovely face could appear in a variety of places!

But don't worry!

Smile,smile,smile. As for the midsection, you can wear one of those spanx things that hold in your middle. You can also ask the photographer to shoot higher. Try to look as natural as possible; some girls get their hair done and put on makeup like they are going to the prom-they look horrible. Subtle make-up.

Remember-where I live anyway-you can ask for a repeat shoot if it doesn't turn out.

You can also practice the kind of look you want in front of mirror. Or, you can have a friend take poses if you have a digital camera/phone. Good Luck!!

dont look straight at the camera with your whole body. turn your shouldes a little and the rest of your body. try folding your arms. the best thing to do is to look in a mirror and find a pose you like. try a few till you find the one that clicks.
