Members of young Hollywood are used to one thing: photographs! From walking red carpets to being chased by paparazzi, there’s no shortage of flash bulbs in their faces.
So, when it comes to taking a great picture, stars like Miley Cyrus and Blake Lively should know the tricks of the trade.
Step one: Fake a natural smile
Have a hard time smiling on command? Actress Shenae Grimes of ‘90210′ fame says pretending to laugh does the trick. “If you kind of go ‘ha ha,’ explains Grimes, ‘it definitely helps look much more natural.
Step two: Know your good side and face the camera from that direction.
“It sounds weird but everyone has a better side on their face,” says former star of ‘The Hills,’ Lauren Conrad.
Step three: Don’t let the camera add those infamous ten pounds by positioning yourself straight on.
Actress AnnaLynne McCord explains: “The whole little like ‘leg in front of leg’… keeping the nice lines is very important.”
Step four: Have confidence!
Fake it until you make it! Believe you look great and then you probably will.
“It’s just about being confident and kind of being out there and showing, ‘This is me. Here I am,” says actress Jessica Stroup.
