Tips & Tricks for better photographs of yourself

[gamergirl 4,610]

Most of us have avoided the camera for years, and only now discovering that photos can be fun! I found this wonderful article posted by a friend of mine who is a professional photographer. It's a long read, the videos are long, and I'm an impatient person. But I can tell you, it was worth every minute. I think many women seem to know these tricks but I'm not that girly so it was all news to me, man!

I'm not sure about the "Squinch" (too much like duck lips if you ask me), but the jawline portion along--how to position your head so your bone structure shows but not your double chin--is worth the time I spent on it.

I hope you guys get something out of it as well!

Enjoy!
