I'd love to put a face to this great conversation we're having. Could you send a photo or two? You could make it clear that you're not asking for naked pics here, but if your messages have been tame and respectful then she shouldn't perceive your request as creepy. To be extra careful, though, you can always add:. Red flag, unfortunately. She's probably hiding something. If she accuses you of being a creep after you've been having a completely respectful and friendly conversation, I recommend you save yourself some time and end the communication.
Since her profile is a tiny bit sketchy from the start, be aware this is a possibility! But hopefully she's just uncomfortable about coworkers or friends finding out she's online dating, and she'll be happy to send you photos privately. Also, be aware that pictures can lie!
That's also why it's a good strategy — if you're talking with a girl and it's going well — to suggest meeting as early as possible while still being polite. Others do the opposite. For example, positioning a model with her shoulders square to the camera will make her body look wider. A better choice is to have her turn her body away from the camera by about two thirds while keeping her face straight towards the camera.
If this seems like too much of a turn, scale back by just placing one shoulder closer to the camera. Shooting from slightly above your model will help to define the chin and jawline. The camera should always be at least above her eye level — never below it. This angle works great for curvier women especially. The body look smaller when the camera is above and a bit of a distance away.
Shooting from above eye level is one technique, but there are others that are just as important. First, ask the model to lower their chin. Next, have them press their tongue to the roof of their mouth while smiling. This might feel a little weird, but it lengthens the neck, accents the jawline, and helps to avoid double chins.
Just make sure their tongue is on the roof of their mouth, not against their teeth, or it will might show through their smile. This will usually bring the chin out and down, making for a strong, attractive jaw line. With female portraits how the mouth appears can make or break a photo. A closed, tight mouth tends to suggest defiance, boredom, or even anger. A mouth slightly open with the lips just apart, however, implies openness, agreement, willingness, or even vulnerability.
Technically speaking, a closed mouth will often cause the jaw line to clench, making the sides of the face seem heavier. A slightly open mouth will help to elongate the jaw line and lend a much more pleasant energy to the portrait. When learning how to pose models, one of the hardest things for a photographer is knowing what to do with the hands.
Instead, pose the hands to the side, under the chin, in the hair, or over the shoulder. Make sure that the fingers are slightly apart, curved, and only just touching the hair or face. Not only does it tend to look awkward, having the arm pressed against the body squishes it out in a way that makes the arms look thicker than they are. To correct this, have the model move their arms away from their body in a way that creates visible space between the two.
The easiest way is to have them place a hand on their hip or just bend their elbows enough to create a gap. Whichever you choose, just make sure there is a visible gap between each arm and the body.
In female portrait photography curves are essential. In standing poses this can be achieved by having the model put her weight on her back foot. Let's just be open and honest with ourselves for a minute here. We are all guilty of acting at least a little desperate or insecure on social media.
It's easy to deny, but it isn't so easy to fool all the people who saw the evidence and who will never let us live it down.
The truth is, we have all posted pictures with captions that reveal how bad things were in our lives at one point or another, and for a small majority of the women who do this, they actually keep doing it well into adulthood because they want the pity, they want the attention, and they want people to just look at them!
While this is super sad, and frankly, borderline pathetic, sometimes it's just too easy to give in! All it takes is one moment of weakness and suddenly our drama is online for the whole world to see. Don't believe us? Take a look at the evidence! It's all over social media - we couldn't escape it if we wanted to!
To prove just how easy it is to post a pic revealing how desperate or insecure we are, here are twenty-three examples posted to places like Instagram, Pinterest, Facebook and more:. Does it get any more "look at me!
Ladies, we get it, you're super cute and you love the attention you get when you post an okay pic of yourself enhanced with a Snapchat filter of a flower crown or those horrible dog muzzles and ears, but the truth is those filters are only cute to yourself.
To the rest of us, we're just smiling and nodding while waiting for you to choose a normal pic that doesn't terrify little children. Girls who are desperate for attention are the only ones who bother posting these pics. Everyone else laughs at the filters, maybe shares them with a friend or family member, who also laughs, then they all get over it and move on to more important things. Now, it's your turn to move on, too. Is there booze in that drink or is she just really deep into her thoughts about pizza and whatever iced beverage is in that cup?
We get it! You like Starbucks! Unless you're showing off a new drink combo, there's really no reason to post thousands of pictures of yourself holding a Starbucks drink. Half the people who enjoy the drinks aren't even really ordering coffee because, as any coffee drinker can tell you, the actual plain coffee is always disgusting from Starbucks.
There isn't enough sugar or creamer in the world to change that and it's because the corporation is more interested in furthering itself with basic fruity beverages than it is with actually selling coffee. And you, women of Starbucks, are only helping them along. Unless you're on a trip out of town and enjoying something brand new and exciting, no one is going to bother giving your pic of you and your friends at Starbucks a second glance.
If you really want to turn heads, try taking your girls out for something new, try dressing up for a themed party, and show what squad goals are really all about. I think I'll post my ugly mug on Facebook or Instagram to see how many people agree with me.
No one who truly feels disgusting would willingly post a bad picture of themselves on social media. In fact, the ones who post pictures with captions indicating they're ugly are actually just fishing for compliments. There's a reason their "ugly" pictures involve great hair, immaculate wing tips, the perfect filter and pristine lighting. These just might be the most desperate and insecure of the bunch!
They just want attention and men, those who are equally desperate to be noticed, are the only ones who pretend to fall for this trick. Do yourself a favor and just admit you're pretty and you love the pic you just took! These "look at my pet! Unless Fluffy is doing something super cute, it's unlikely this girl really wanted to show off her fuzzy buddy.
These girls are more interested in using their pets as an excuse to get more "likes," "hearts" or followers. Don't be fooled by this desperate move! When a girl really wants you to check out her pet, she'll actually post a pic of said pet, and if she's in the picture, she'll be in the background because Fluffy is the one who deserves the spotlight. Nothing says "we're in love" like pictures where both parties are looking at the camera, instead of each other, and they aren't even smiling.
Yup, that's what relationship goals are, the perfect date where we spend more time posing for a camera than actually spending time with each other. Do you want to know what a real perfect date post looks like? They're usually ones where the other person isn't aware you're snapping a pic at all, or the only image is post-dated with something like the flowers he gave you, or the ticket stubs from the movie, or even the foil swan the swanky restaurant made out of your leftovers.
Only insecure girls try to post pics proving she actually got a man to take her out for the night. That girl looks so awesome! There's no way she got that pic without using some kind of filter! Oh, but wait! She put ' NoFilter' so she must be a really gifted photographer instead!
No one is fooled by the whole " NoFilter" tag, lady. We're all filter experts, so if you try to say you're not using one today, you're going to be instantly caught. You know this, so why lie about it? Just admit that you used whatever filter and that's how you got this gorgeous pic of yourself!
Take the opportunity to teach the rest of us a little something about the filters you prefer and then do yourself a favor and move on! Much like NoFilter, the whole NoMakeup thing isn't working out when your face is as shiny as a light bulb.
