Hello, Youless!
No, I do not know how to pose! If I laugh, it is too fake. If I stand still, I become too ugly in the picture (I am ugly in person, imagine in pic!). If I try to make a pose, it looks like I am just faking to be the good guy, while I am not.
I sincerely don't know what face to do. This is why I like others to take pictures of me when I'm distracted. It looks more natural.
Respectfully,
Munhozmib.

It might be the actress within me, but I love posing for the camera! My mother always taught me to suck in belly, stand straight and keep my face relaxed; I still follow this advice!

Just smile loh... that is the most natural thing to do.
Once in a while, it is nice to just kid around when posing for the camera. Like a look of surprise. Or a look of amazement. Or a look of shock. Be expressive. Be fun.
When you review the pictures, it would be so much more fun than just seeing the standard look-at-camera-and-smile poses.

Well, depends on what kind of pictures I am taking. Actually I can pose but it solely depends on who is taking my pictures. I can't pose in front of people who don't know how to take pictures. One of my friends is really good and I love being taken pictures by him, and actually the photos turn out really great and professional!

I hate having my picture taken and I always feel awkward when I have to pose and smile. It always seems like the person taking the picture takes forever to get the shot and there you are standing uncomfortably with a fake smile pasted on your face. Not to mention, I hate the results. I am not photogenic in the least.

Oh, I'm not good too in posing. I look really awkward. And besides, I feel uncomfortable when I pose in front of the photographer. hehe. And I really hate it when my friends want to do the wacky shot. Argh! I don't know how to pose, what more a wacky one. I always end up making a peace sign. That's my wacky shot. lol.
These days I'm playing with my camera to get lots of choices, and maybe to ward off the awkwardness. hehe. So far, I like a picture of me flipping my hair. But then, I can hardly see my face, maybe that's why. lol. I guess practice makes perfect. Or at least, better.

it's easy for girls to make poses.they may use their hands,legs and body to express many kinds of aspects but for our men we prefer to be like a gentle and classic sometimes.

There are some tips you can do to pose better for photographs! First of all, don't face straight ahead at the camera. This is the most unflattering angle to be photographed from. This is also the way driver's license, passport, ID photos, etc. are taken and that is the main reason so many people hate the way they look on their ID! You will want to turn your head slightly at an angle. This way your head will look more normal and won't look so wide and flat. But remember, with your face pointed away from the camera, you still want to look directly into the lens of the camera or look at the person taking your photo.
Additionally, if you keep your head absolutely straight, it will just bring out all of your features that are not symmetrical. So you will want to tilt your head just slightly to make your facial features look more balanced.
Also, you don't want to point your head down... this can give you a "double chin" look. You will want to lift your head up a bit... but not too much so that we can see up your nose!
Next, relax! If you're feeling nervous and awkward, you'll look nervous and awkward in the photo! Try and take your mind off having your picture taken and think about something that makes you happy.
You do want to smile, but you don't need a big goofy grin. A small, subtle smile can go a long way!
Hopefully that will help! Remember: turn you head slightly away from the camera, tilt your head at a slight angle, lift your chin up slightly, relax and smile!
This may be awkward at first, so you might want to try practicing in front of a mirror a few times. Get it down so that it comes naturally whenever someone points a camera at you!

A good photographer can make you feel relaxed and look natural. Others will wait and catch you off guard and get a very natural looking photo. If you can take the photo when they are engaged you can get a more natural looking photo. There are no harsh line in the faces or a forced smile..

well i think this are the things that you have to practise to make perfect. just like the contestants on tyra banks' the next americas top model. not all of them are good on posing and some also feel awkward. i am a singer and when i was just starting it is really hard to pose a picture where you have to say on the picture that i am having fun with my band. or something about telling the people that will look at the picture that i am a good singer. first you have to be really trusting yourself, you have to feel good and you have to be practising a good smile in front of the mirror.

I couldn't make different pose too.I just simle or stand there rightly!
Recently,I desired to buy a camera canon A570.Athough it has depriciated a lot .A suit of camara is just about 1,600RMB,but I don't know where to buy it. I want to buy it at the internet web,it's cheaper than buying it at esse store,but I can't ensure the quality.So,I still have no camera now.I can just take photographes with my handset.
