If you’re out and about with your gals and you want to take cutesy pics to flex on your Instagram, but have no idea how to pose – this one’s for you. Posing for photos can be a tough nut to crack. But don’t worry! Here, Lipstiq covers 8 different ways on how you can pose for photos for the ultimate Instagram photoshoot.
Repeat after me, one foot forward
The most automatic pose when someone takes your photo is to plant your feet straight down. But, by taking one foot and stepping forward it not only gives your body natural curve, it also gives the picture movement and interest.
Show off your outfit by kicking up your leg
This is a must if you have a flowy outfit with a unique silhouette and is also key for making your shoes the centerpiece!
The ‘strandid’ pose
Just clutch a few strands of hair and pull them away from your head, all while looking cute and candid. Strand of hair plus candid equals strandid. Simple!
Down in front
When you’re comfortable you’re more likely to look and feel natural in front of the lens. So, take a seat and get comfy.
Look back at it
It’s like “Oh my god, I was just walking, then turned my head around and there you are.”
The migraine pose
I love this one because the beauty of my hands frame the face and give it more structure. Literally my go-to pose.
How to pose: head tilt 10 degrees to the left (or right)
This pose is the one when you feel super-duper awkward ’cause you’re taking a pic in public with so many eyes on you.
The taking-a-dump pose
Who thought that squatting would break out of the gym and find its way to Instagram? No one, probably.
We hope these posing tips give you some new ideas for your next Instagram post. Don’t forget to tag us (@lipstiqdotcom) in your photos using these poses so we can make sure to check them out!
