In the 21^st century, posting beautiful photos on your social media has become a new way to invest in yourself and your confidence. 

Do you sometimes find it hard to choose a pose that enhances your natural curves and beauty? Here are some fun poses for you to experiment with as well as a little insight into natural and beautiful angles that work.

Pop-Out Your Hip

Lean with your weight on one foot and pop-out your hip bone to the other side. You can enhance this curve line by having good hand placement on your hip or thigh and bending a knee slightly. This pose outlines your curves naturally and is an easy one to master. 

Twisted-Torso Side Poses

Put your weight on your back foot / leg, and have the front leg bend slightly at the knee and placed forward, toward the camera. Place your arms in front of your torso and twist a little at the waist. This can hide any potential muffin-top and is a flattering angle for your figure in a photograph.

Camera Angles

When taking photos, remember to find the best angle for your body type; it can be different for everyone. Many people place the camera a little above their forehead for a slimmer and more stretched out look. Sometimes leaning toward the camera or adding a torso twist can provide the most flattering look. 

Working with a professional photographer who knows how to pose you and angle the camera correctly can make a world of difference in how beautiful your portraits can be. 

Make Your Jawline More Visible

This is the easiest trick to make your jawline more apparent. Place your tongue on top of your mouth and try to swallow. Now, remember you are trying to swallow; don't actually swallow. This will lift your chin a little upward and will make your jawline look sharp. It can also help elongate your neck and make it look smoother. 

How To Have Perfect Cheekbones

To get your cheekbone to look perfectly contoured, you can “bite” your cheek with your incisors. Don't bite too much, but really try to suck your cheeks a little inward. Also open your lips slightly to make the contouring look more visible. This is a hard one to do and is worth a little practice in the mirror.

Conclusion

Use these tips flatter your figure naturally. They will help define your femininity, flatter your natural features, and help you achieve a more pleasing portrait.
