How to Pose as a Plus Size Girl
Whatever your body type, there are countless tips and tricks you can utilize when posing to emphasize your favorite features, and draw attention away from those you aren't as fond of. For the full-figured ladies out there, here are a few tips to accentuate your best qualities!
1. Conceal your problem areas. If there's a particular part of your body you'd rather not have photographed, think creatively to conceal it. For example, if you don't like the way your arms look, work to tuck them close to your side, and push your chest outward.
2. Do the Bird Neck. For this pose, push your head out away from your neck, and tilt it down. This pose will cover up your neck a bit, and make your forehead look smaller. Look at a few pictures of Kim Kardeshian for inspiration -- she uses this pose in almost every photo!
3. Be vocal with your lips. Literally make the sounds "ooh" and "ahh" as you pose, as these shape your lips in a delicate, sexy way. You don't have to shout it, but at least give a whisper. This is a great alternative to the silly "duck lips."
4. Smize! Tyra Banks coined this term, meaning "smile with your eyes." Think about how your eyes crinkle and lift when you have a big grin, and try mastering this technique without actually forcing a smile. This will make your face seem brighter and tighter.
5. Have confidence. Don't feel uncomfortable when you're getting your photo taken! Feel bold and beautiful, and that will show in your photo.
6. Jut your jaw towards the camera. Always jut your jaw out just slightly toward the camera line. The jut emphasizes your jaw-line and creates a slim appearance.
