Today I'm going to show you how to pose for a photo so that you look good and you don't feel embarrassed. Hi, I'm Shelley and welcome to Fabulous 50s. Today I'm really excited because we have a special guest who's going to teach you and I how to take a really good photo and not get so embarrassed that everybody's looking. And if you're like me, you're brought up to not show off, not pose, not do anything like that. That was made really, really wrong for me. So when we used to take photos back in the day when I was 18 and a young woman, we'd stand there like this or our wedding photos were like this. There was no posing and none of that. But today everything's changed and everyone out there is taking really great photos. So I'm excited, let's get started. This is Andrea for everyone and she's going to give us so many points. You're going to get amazing photos. Let's get started. Hello, Pablo's ladies. So today I'm going to give you a few tips to take a photo and look like a model. So I did the photo shoot with Shell and then she's going to show if you guys later the photos. They're very nice by the way. So we are showing what the photo looks like if you take in a very like stiff rigid, no shape way. If you create that movement and the flowing and give a little bit of shape, how it can look like. So we're going to show that to you today. We're sharing a mic. So, Andrea, can you go through what you taught me with the move, move, move, and what you think about while you're standing there? Because I get embarrassed and the ladies might get embarrassed too. So explain that to us. Yeah, you can feel a little bit awkward and other when you're taking the photos. So some tips that I've learned is that it's really good if you always keep you on tip toe because they create a little bit of shape in your body like you bring you forward and automatically it fix your posture as well. So why are you taking a photo? It's really important that you are always moving. So you create that movement that flow in the photos and then you have fun. So you want to show that you are really comfortable in what you're wearing and you are always moving. So what I say to show is to keep posing. So you kind of like pose and play with the fabric and then you pose and then you smile and then you pose and try to create different shapes and they'll bring like life to the photo. So we're creating different shapes with our arms, legs, the fabric you can use as well. Yep, so if you're wearing like a max address for example, the max address can be really like stray and sometimes you can't really have any draw in your body or like any shape you can see the shape of your body properly. So if you maybe go on your tip toe and then you bring your leg forward and then you put your hand on the side and then you kind of like you're creating this shape of our glass a little bit more or if you bring your leg to the side and then use your other hand so you're creating shape. See I get embarrassed doing this and I'm doing it in front of all these people. It's a little bit awkward at the beginning and it does make for real photos. Yeah, here are a few things that you can practice. So let's say that you have a very nice makeup and then you want to bring attention to your face. It's nice if you bring your hand in because then you create the attention. So you just ring it in the hand and then you have to try to keep your lips really soft. Then you can just say the letter P so you just go PURP but like in French. Now you can start noticing when you see photos. They always have this PURP face. You can practice in the mirror like it's something they are used to do. Yes. So then you can see how it looks like. So another tip that you can use as well if you are taking a group photo is always try to stay in the middle. Everybody finds photo mirror by the way. I didn't know. I didn't know it was a thing but they find photo mirror. And they find photo mirror. So if you already know that that's great. So if you are the end try to always bring your arm out. So you avoid your arm to look fat even if it's not fat because you are the end and you bring it close to your body it can look bigger at the camera. Yes, so try to always bring out and then like a little bit far from your body. So you always keep it like you know like a modem. This? Yeah no. Always try to create shape. Always try to like play around. So play with your hair. Bring to the face. Bring to the waist. Bring shapes with you. So you always creating movement. Like you're basically click pose. So pose pose pose. The thing I noticed when Andres was teaching me is that I felt like weird and nervous you know moving all the time. But when the photographer or my husband was taking photos he just kept clicking. Click click click click click and then we got some really great photos but not all of them were. And I'm stiff as well because I'm not used to it. But watching Andres are just move different. And when you practicing it just have that in mind. You just move next next next. Like I think to keep in mind is that it's 300 photos. Do you tell them good? So don't worry if you take photos and you don't find them amazing. We always take like I have 300 photos and a pick one. And that's what matters. Like you only want to one anyway. Play with the environment as well. Let's say that we have a tree here close by. So like touch the freezer you interact with the environment. Let's say that is a tree here and I'm just standing as like I'm uncomfortable. But if I'm interacting with the tree then I'm like comfortable in the environment. Comfortable with where I'm wearing and that makes such a difference when you sit through the camera. Always keep it in your tip toe if you want to look longer in a photo. And ask the person who's taking the photo to bring the camera a little bit lower. So it makes you really long. Makes you look like those models that are doing like a campaign in a bikini. And they look really long that you go like they're so tall and try to Islamily backward. So you create that look. And when the person's taking the photo you make you look really tall and long legs. Yeah so it just is Lailie. So you know he and you know he but you just kind of like so that's pretty much it and they will make you have a longer legs. And when we look at all of the beautiful photos just know that like Andrew as I said they might have taken 300 photos to get that perfect one. So we can do that too. If we feel like it if not don't never worry about it. I really hope these tips helped you and if you're like me and totally embarrassed by taking photos give it a try. And if they work for you and you're really happy with them send me your text and show me your photo. I love it. Yeah we would love to see it. Thank you so much to Andressa. Thank you for having me.
