Today, we’re going over how to pose for pictures as a grown man. In today’s world, where everyone wants to take pictures or pose, this topic needs to be addressed because many men still make childish mistakes, such as making peace signs and goofy faces, and/or standing stiffly, like in a yearbook photo. These types of pictures can wreck your image. Whether you’re posting to a social media account for business or a spicy senorita, you want to look your best.

You have to avoid common mistakes like these. It’s time to master being photogenic in this world where everybody wants to take pictures. You’re always on camera, so it’s essential to ensure you look your best. What they see is not just when they meet you in person. You also need to look great in pictures so that people give you opportunities because your image is better.

Look your best IRL and on camera

1. Tough or cool guy pose. If you’re looking all bowed up and hard with your chin up and not smiling, or if your chest is up and your arms are crossed, you look like a douche.
2. Posing straight on. This pose doesn’t make anybody look good. Angle your body slightly, with one foot in front of the other, and your shoulders slightly turned. When you pose facing forward, you look stocky and blocky.
3. Poor posture. Make sure you’re chest is up and your shoulders are back. Tighten your stomach. Your chin should also be elevated.
4. Chin down. Your chin down will make you look worse. Ensure your chin is elevated slightly, but not too high.
5. Misusing hands and arms. Look calm and confident; choose one of the examples shown in the video. I think hooking the thumb is the best look. A finger point is another option to emphasize the other person. Thumbs up is also an acceptable hand gesture. But if you’re with an attractive woman, don’t ‘thumbs up’ because it looks weird. With your arm placement, choose a side if you’re positioned directly in the center. You could also wrap your arms around other people. Avoid a double-arm around the shoulders, as it looks awkward. If you’re a shorter person, go low and let them go high.
6. Stinking. When posing with people, ensure you don’t smell. This could be too much cologne, overpowering body spray, or not wearing any at all. Your pits may be exposed when posing with others, so you don’t want them to get close. If you stink, ensure your hygiene game is strong.
7. Crowding in a group setting. Ensure you have sufficient room and personal space that others respect. With a woman, be careful. You don’t want to look like a perv. Also, the lower back is an intimate place to place your hand with a woman. Read her body language and how she is posing.
8. Trying to look funny and overposing. If you’re a grown man, look confident and happy. Don’t appear as though you’re trying too hard or that you’re tough. Smile and avoid making silly faces. And regarding posing, don’t be over the top. Casual energy is characterized by a look that is fun, playful, confident, and calm without being overdone.
9. Not making your face look as good as it can. To make your face appear bright, ensure the light is positioned in front of you. If you’re taking a selfie with someone and it’s dark, with the lights behind you, the picture will look terrible. Elevate the camera as well. Make sure the cameras above you force your chin up. Instead of tucking your chin or pulling it back slightly, elevate your chin and tilt your head up. Your jawline looks stronger. However, relax your facial muscles, as you don’t want tight and tense muscles or a big smile, which can accentuate wrinkles and distort your face. Press your tongue against the back of your teeth, and casually. Slightly smile. Avoid a big, cheesy smile while still showing some teeth.
10. Having an oily and shiny face. Make sure you wipe your face so you don’t glisten. I take the back of my hand and wipe off my T-Zone. Please don’t use your shirt for that because it will get greasy and stretched out. The back of your hand works great.
