my face that is asymmetrical: ಥ‿ಥ
My graduation/pictorial is in 2 days. And my heart is beating of my chest rn. Probably bc i feel insecure smiling cause i gained like 3 pounds and everyone else only got taller. And Im too shy to ask my mom bc she might think im trying to hard. And the camera lights are so annoying tbh. Did i mention theres like 20 other students they need to work on-
TOMORROW IS OUR GRADUATION PICTORIAL AND I'M NOT PHOTOGENIC , HENCE I'M REALLY NERVOUS., WHAT TO DOOOO ! . Im graduating from SHS btw
Michelle reminds me of Hillary Duff.
me overthinking a school photo…😭
My best angle is when I’m out of the frame of the photo
Really helpful thanks!
They don't let me pick what position I want! Then the pictures end up looking terrible!
Okay so tomorrow’s my graduation photo day and I remember I watched this video years back and said I’d follow these steps whenever I’d graduate from college. Here I am 8 years later. Re-watching these tips. Michelle will always be one of my favorite influencers and I’ve grown a lot from watching her videos 🙂 here’s to still watching this at 2021. ❤️
It’s crazy to think that I watched this when I was only 9.. and now I’m watching this because my high school grad photos are soon!
When I smile my lip will goes towards one side any solution 😓
S
My Best Angle Is…
When I'm Not In The Photo 😢
when i smile I look " natural" and it doesn't look forced even though I am forcing a smile, I have decent lips, small nose but my eyes………….I look like this most of the time 🐼 ( help )
Many thanks, I been tryin to find out about "yoga for face skin tightening" for a while now, and I think this has helped. Ever heard of – Jenrooklyn Facial Mummification – (should be on google have a look ) ? Ive heard some incredible things about it and my brother in law got great results with it.
This is not what I wanted to find
Thanks!
A smile would be easier if I had better looking teeth…
You know, that was super helpful. Thank you.
My best angle is in someone elses photo.
be confident…yea totally I’ll just flip a switch in my brain to make me confident- the photographers at school for picture day don’t gaf how you look😭
"it's not scary, just relax and be confident" WTF kind of professional advice is that?! For some people it IS scary, are FAR FROM relaxed and are NOT confident. It is my job as a professional to acknowledge that and work with that. To do my shoot fast and make them feel at ease and above all understand how they feel. What an idiot…
im always made to laugh with huge eyes, in a hideous angle and in an uncomfortable position for school photos. i always turn out looking dead inside
Super helpful!! Thanks!!
Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!
Reasons this will not work for me:
1.The photographer will tell me to look straight at the camera
2.The photographer will tell me to smile wider or lesser
This happens at school
shes utterly beautiful
Who has time for this when they call u up
I'm probably gonna cry cuz I have school pictures this week and I'm gonna ruin my makeup by crying cuz honestly is so sad cuz it's my last year, last photo and it's my last chance to get a nice photo after 4 failed high school pictures
thank you for this a lot i have mine coming up and i always feel awakened making a smile because of my braces and many people have told me i’m not opening my eyes enough when i smile these tips really helped
