It\u2019s ever-so-ready to capture memories or document happenings that can help us relive those frozen moments in time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In today\u2019s \u201clivin\u2019 for the \u2018gram\u201d world, knowing <strong>how to look good in pictures<\/strong> can ensure that awkward photos of you won\u2019t be floating around the internet for years to come. No, you don\u2019t have to be an Annie Leibovitz or a Brandon Stanton, but knowing a few extra tips can make all the difference.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">To help you look your best in every photo, <strong>Paulius Staniunas<\/strong>, a professional photographer and founder of All Is Amazing, is here to share his insider advice. In his <em>Picture Perfect: The Art of Looking Good in Photos<\/em> Quest on Mindvalley, he explains the three-part aspects you should keep in mind: emotional appearance, physical appearance, and how you pose.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201c<em>The road to looking the best version of yourself and never taking a bad photo begins now,<\/em>\u201d he says. Whether you\u2019re taking a selfie or posing for a professional headshot, his tips can <a href=\"https:\/\/blog.mindvalley.com\/camera-shy\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">give you the confidence<\/a> to be camera-ready at the sound of \u201c<em>Say cheese!<\/em>\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-tip-1-hydrate-hydrate-hydrate\">Tip 1: Hydrate, hydrate, hydrate<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201c<em>The first thing I can tell you is: hydrate, hydrate, hydrate,<\/em>\u201d says Paulius. When you don\u2019t drink enough water, your skin can be dry, look dull, and be prone to fine lines and wrinkles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">You may already know the great benefits of drinking water. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/pmc\/articles\/PMC4529263\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Research<\/a> shows that regularly hydrating can \u201c<em>positively impact normal skin physiology<\/em>,\u201d allowing it to look more radiant.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Paulius also advises avoiding caffeine, sugar, and alcohol a few days before. These can not only dry your body out, but they can also make you feel lethargic or super hyper.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">So water is your best friend. Make sure you\u2019re drinking plenty of it throughout the day, especially in the days leading up to a photo shoot. It\u2019ll help ensure your skin is looking its best when the cameras start shuttering away.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Paulius Staniunas\u2019 pro tip:<\/strong> \u201c<em>It&#8217;s not going to surprise anyone that being healthy also translates to photographs. Your skin looks better, your energy&#8217;s radiating, your posture is great, [and] your mood is fantastic, which is absolutely visible in front of the camera.<\/em>\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-tip-2-glam-up-your-hair-and-makeup\">Tip 2: Glam up your hair and makeup<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The right hair and makeup can make all the difference and help define your <a href=\"https:\/\/blog.mindvalley.com\/personal-branding\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">personal branding<\/a>. However, it\u2019s important to keep in mind that the camera can be unforgiving\u2014what looks great in person might not translate well on camera.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">To understand how to look good in pictures, Paulius has these tips for you:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Don&#8217;t try any new makeup products before the shoot.<\/strong> There\u2019s a risk of a reaction to the product and that can cause the shoot to be postponed. So stick to what you\u2019re using and what\u2019s safe.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Get a haircut or get a professional to style your hair.<\/strong> The right hairstyle can enhance your look and personality. One <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ikw.org\/fileadmin\/IKW_Dateien\/downloads\/Schoenheitspflege\/SOFW_Journal_EN.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">study<\/a> explains it\u2019s \u201c<em>much more than purely superficial cosmetic treatments<\/em>,\u201d rather, it contributes towards \u201c<em>the creation of a feeling of dignity, and deep human needs are satisfied.<\/em>\u201d<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Your makeup and hairstyle reflect your physical and emotional states, according to Paulius. How so?&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201c<em>Very simple,<\/em>\u201d he explains. When you\u2019re beauty-ready, you, emotionally, \u201c<em>start feeling more confident and better because you&#8217;re being beautified even more,<\/em>\u201d and physically,<em> <\/em>\u201c<em>you look more presentable as well.<\/em>\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Paulius Staniunas\u2019 pro tip:<\/strong> \u201c<em>If you engage a professional makeup artist and a hair stylist, it will make a world of difference, because not only will they know how to do your makeup for the camera, so the light will not shine too much on your face and all the wrinkles will be more even, they will also, I would say, put you in this state of mind that you are getting ready for something big.<\/em>\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-full\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1200\" height=\"800\" src=\"https:\/\/storage.googleapis.com\/mv-prod-blog-en-assets\/2023\/03\/a02eafef-how-to-look-good-in-pictures-vishen-live-06_c0282-all-is-amazing.jpg\" alt=\"Group of women taking a group selfie at Vishen Live in Los Angeles\" class=\"wp-image-66656\" srcset=\"https:\/\/storage.googleapis.com\/mv-prod-blog-en-assets\/2023\/03\/a02eafef-how-to-look-good-in-pictures-vishen-live-06_c0282-all-is-amazing.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/storage.googleapis.com\/mv-prod-blog-en-assets\/2023\/03\/a02eafef-how-to-look-good-in-pictures-vishen-live-06_c0282-all-is-amazing-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/storage.googleapis.com\/mv-prod-blog-en-assets\/2023\/03\/a02eafef-how-to-look-good-in-pictures-vishen-live-06_c0282-all-is-amazing-736x491.jpg 736w, https:\/\/storage.googleapis.com\/mv-prod-blog-en-assets\/2023\/03\/a02eafef-how-to-look-good-in-pictures-vishen-live-06_c0282-all-is-amazing-442x295.jpg 442w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-tip-3-choose-the-best-outfits\">Tip 3: Choose the best outfits<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The clothes you wear can affect the way you feel and the overall mood of the photos. So it\u2019s important to choose the right clothing that expresses your <a href=\"https:\/\/blog.mindvalley.com\/how-to-be-authentic\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">authentic<\/a> style.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">What\u2019s Paulius&#8217; advice on clothes and how to always look good in pictures? Here are a few dos and don&#8217;ts he recommends doing:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Do bring more clothes. <\/strong>If you don\u2019t know what clothes to bring, bring as many as you can. When you do so, the more options you have on what to wear.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Don\u2019t wear clothes with patterns, drawings, or logos. <\/strong>These types of clothing tend to draw the attention of the viewer. But the focus should be on you, not your clothes. So the plainer it is, the better.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Don\u2019t wear wrinkled clothes. <\/strong>As mentioned, the focus of the photograph should be you. Unneat, wrinkled clothes can pull the attention away from you and onto an unsightly aspect of the picture. So make sure your clothes are well steamed.&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Do be mindful of how you accessorize.<\/strong> Belts, earrings, watches, glasses, and other accessories can complete your look. However, make sure they\u2019re not glossy or too shiny as they can reflect the light when you\u2019re being photographed, especially in the studio.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Remember, the most important thing is to wear something that makes you feel confident and comfortable. When you feel good in your outfit, it\u2019ll show in your photos.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Paulius Staniunas\u2019 pro tip: <\/strong>\u201c<em>The clothes as a rule of thumb should be well fitted, not too baggy, unless that&#8217;s the style of the shoot you want to go for, not too tight, unless the style of the shoot you want to go for, the well-fitted clothes are the best clothes.<\/em>\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-tip-4-find-your-best-angle\">Tip 4: Find your best angle<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Side angle, high angle, the Quentin Tarantino angle, or even the angle of how to look good in pictures without smiling (here\u2019s looking at you, Victoria Beckham and Joaquin Phoenix).&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Identifying the angles that best accentuate your features can be a challenge. The secret is to keep experimenting until you find what works for you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The truth is, everyone has a \u201cgood\u201d side. What\u2019s an interesting fact, though, is that several studies have found that most people favor their left cheek when facing forward, particularly in selfies, according to a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/pmc\/articles\/PMC5318447\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">2017 study<\/a>. It\u2019s been dubbed \u201cthe left-cheek bias.\u201d&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">So which side is your \u201cgood\u201d side? Paulius suggests taking a selfie and seeing which side you think looks better. Here are a few more guidelines on <a href=\"https:\/\/blog.mindvalley.com\/how-to-pose-for-pictures\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">how to pose and look good in pictures<\/a>:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>If your eyes are of a different size, the smaller eye should face the camera. <\/strong>The depth of the photo gives the illusion that both eyes are of the same size.&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>If your eyes look the same size, look at the jawline to see which side is sharper. <\/strong>The sharper jawline should face the camera as it\u2019ll make you look more presentable and confident.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Remember, this is not a critique exercise; you\u2019re not trying to be one of the <em>Mean Girls<\/em> here. It\u2019s important to <em>smile and have fun<\/em> in this process.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Paulius Staniunas\u2019 pro tip:<\/strong> <em>One way to find your best angle is to \u201cimagine nine different squares on your camera lens and try putting your attention on each one of them by physically moving your face. Practice this with a selfie camera and play around with your face to see what looks best and what works best for you.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-tip-5-relax-and-have-fun\">Tip 5: Relax and have fun<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The camera will pick up how you feel. If you\u2019re tense, sad, happy, relaxed, or experiencing any other emotion, it\u2019ll show through in the photos. As Paulius says, \u201c<em>It&#8217;s very, very important to feel good and to translate that energy into the photo<\/em>.\u201d&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">That&#8217;s why, if you\u2019ve ever noticed, photography sessions tend to have music playing. \u201c<em>Music will put you in a state of relaxation and a state of familiarity<\/em>,\u201d he adds. It can help release that tense and nervous energy, which then results in vibrant, dynamic photos.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">After all, the goal of a photo session is to capture your personality and have fun while doing it. And having your favorite tunes playing can help you tap into your <a href=\"https:\/\/blog.mindvalley.com\/higher-self\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">higher self<\/a> so you can flow better and show your most photogenic self in front of the camera.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Paulius Staniunas\u2019 pro tip: <\/strong>\u201c<em>Create a playlist of your favorite songs, which you will take with you to the studio. Remember the body movement, the mood, and how to get into that state\u2014music will help you a lot, [so] make a playlist.<\/em>\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1200\" height=\"800\" src=\"https:\/\/storage.googleapis.com\/mv-prod-blog-en-assets\/2023\/03\/5188fec9-how-to-look-good-in-pictures-mindvalley-live-2023-dubai-day-2-07_c6846_cr3-all-is-amazing.jpg\" alt=\"Vishen, founder of Mindvalley, showing how to look good in pictures\" class=\"wp-image-66654\" srcset=\"https:\/\/storage.googleapis.com\/mv-prod-blog-en-assets\/2023\/03\/5188fec9-how-to-look-good-in-pictures-mindvalley-live-2023-dubai-day-2-07_c6846_cr3-all-is-amazing.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/storage.googleapis.com\/mv-prod-blog-en-assets\/2023\/03\/5188fec9-how-to-look-good-in-pictures-mindvalley-live-2023-dubai-day-2-07_c6846_cr3-all-is-amazing-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/storage.googleapis.com\/mv-prod-blog-en-assets\/2023\/03\/5188fec9-how-to-look-good-in-pictures-mindvalley-live-2023-dubai-day-2-07_c6846_cr3-all-is-amazing-736x491.jpg 736w, https:\/\/storage.googleapis.com\/mv-prod-blog-en-assets\/2023\/03\/5188fec9-how-to-look-good-in-pictures-mindvalley-live-2023-dubai-day-2-07_c6846_cr3-all-is-amazing-442x295.jpg 442w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Vishen, founder of Mindvalley, at Mindvalley Live in Dubai<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-shoot-for-greatness\">Shoot for greatness<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Knowing how to look good in photos may seem superficial, but it can make a big difference in how you present yourself to the world.
