It is no secret that men are usually harder to relax. Especially in front of the camera. In the pictures, men often either stand at attention, or, on the contrary, playfully relaxed, which gives even more tightness.
In order to become more photogenic, it is not at all necessary to strain all muscles or make a brutal look. Enough to look confident.
To do this, take a natural posture with a calm facial expression. Even if you smile, the smile should not be tense. Sometimes it is enough to smile only with eyes.
A couple more tricks:
- To emphasize the masculinity of the figure, the shoulders should be turned to the camera, and the thighs, on the contrary, slightly turned away (talking about a few degrees, wasp waist is not your goal).
- For a more confident look, it must be directed in the same direction as the face.
Photo standing
Full face
Take a “closed” pose with arms folded across your chest. She will give you confidence. Just do not forget about posture: the shoulders should be straightened, and the stomach retracted. The pose is good for both portrait and full-length shooting.

Sitting on the table
Maybe this does not comply with the rules of etiquette, but it often looks good. Of course, you should not climb on the table with your legs - just sit down on the edge. Hands folded on the chest, put it in your pockets, or put them on the countertop.
