Flattering photo poses

Share your secrets! How do you take flattering pictures of yourself? I'm forever taking Fab pictures and deleting them because I'm sure I'm not... that big? Or my body is more defined, or whatever.

Let's make the experience less demoralising.

I use the 20 photos method, one of them usually looks ok

I've seen that. The stamps on mine, I took the photo usually within a couple of hours, occasionally as much as 48 hours.

Get someone else to take them or get a tripod with a remote, could pick one up for less than 20 quid

Being serious, I have no idea how people do it. Well I have an idea but putting it into practise is tricky so I don't. Timers. Learn your body angles through trial and error? Your photos look like you.

I use self timer and various household items in lieu of a tripod.

I should probably get a tripod

I have no idea. I discard or don’t share 90% of what I take. I have gotten better with angles and sometimes the timer but I generally hate most pics of me. It’s hard when you’re mean to yourself. your pics are lovely though! Do more of that - Mrs

It’s about them angles someone else taking the pics (or a timer)

And having fun whilst doing it

Oh my discard rate is enormous. I want more that'll do or, that's a nice picture and less when I look at the results of a Fab photo shoot!

Its worth getting someone who knows what they are doing to take them it really does make a difference and they can get you in better poses from behind the camera.

I find lighting makes a huge difference. Taking pics on a morning is best for me because the light is best then. And don’t be afraid to crop right down

I think more men should do it! Ball pics instead dick pics could be the way forward?!

I've learnt a few tips through being involved in photoshoots with models. Sometimes cameras really don't capture the same thing your eyes do at all. It feels really alien but pushing your hips forward can make for more flattering pictures. Also pulling the sides of your knickers higher than you would normally wear them looks better in a photo. I try to keep my arms away from my body so I don't blur into one big mass so hands on hip, stomach, thumb tucked in a waistband or waist tie, holding onto something to the side of or above me. I also try not to hold myself too straight so try to form more of an s shape. I like to show off my curves though so my techniques might not work for everyone.

We never take photos of ourselves (at least not for our profile here). We'll always photograph each other or ask somebody else to do it if we both want to be in it.

I’ve done that once before. One of my favourite pics is a video screenshot. It’s nice because it gets you at an angle that you wouldn’t be in for a photo. Maybe we should do more like that! good thinking.

Various poses work but we have found the trick is to take lots of shots from different angles. One or two will look good.

One leg in front of the other, turn slightly so you are not fully facing the camera. Take from below or above slightly will help. Heels lengthen and give shape to legs obviously, wearing items of clothing to take the eye away or cover up areas that you are conscious off all help.

If taking a selfie in one’s bathroom, always be mindful to try and get one’s bog in the shot for that extra artistic statement

I’ve found it’s easier to look good if you’re a model.

For the rest of us it’s lots of trial and error. Before you’re too hard on yourself, it’s worth seeing how many Fabs your existing pictures have. If it’s more than 100, what you’re already doing is good

I used to ditch any pic with a fat roll or stray lump and bump in it, but then I was a nervous wreck meeting in case they ran away at the sight! I just leave them in now, although obvs I still pose my arse off !

The right angle and lighting help. Its trial and error. My body is far from perfect but i can make it look ok in pics. Being creative and posing with confidence makes a big difference too.
