A place to politely discuss the tools, technique and culture of photography.

This is not a good place to simply share cool photos/videos or promote your own work and projects, but rather a place to discuss photography as an art and post things that would be of interest to other photographers.

Not a Model….

Hello everyone! Sorry if this post is not allowed but I don’t know the best place to ask. I am wondering how a person would learn how to look better in pictures? I have always felt extremely awkward when someone asked to take a picture of/with me and it shows. I don’t know that I have ever had a decent picture taken of me. My smile alway looks weird and forced and I’m always the odd man out. I figured I would ask the professionals for some tips?

The Lindsey Adler posing book is good as a photographer and I suspect you could take a lot from it when being photographed as well.

As a different suggestion, the portrait photographer David Suh has an really good TikTok channel, or at least did a couple years ago, where he both demonstrates poses and poses random people in public, often with great results. He was a great manner about him so you might find those videos helpful and entertaining.
