In the photo as in the mirror

If you look like your passport photo, you probably need to take a break abroad.

In general, are there women in nature who would like how they look in a photo or video? Most of us, looking at pictures of a "group" nature, always note "how good or at least nothing" the others have turned out and how "awful and unnatural" is our own face, legs, posture. Immediately you begin to find in your print a strange skin color, slanting eyes, or one gray, and the other red like a vampire. Interestingly, and the photo models in all the frames turn out to be beauties or are they also vampires? Yes, my dear. Top models work for 14 hours on the camera, and then 2-3 of the most successful ones are selected from the whole variety of pictures.

Probably, in the psychology of a woman there is an eternal dissatisfaction with herself, which does not give an opportunity to please her photo.

Of course, one cannot but blame the so-called soap dishes, of which in every home, at every event …

Professional cameras are an expensive but useful thing, if, of course, you want to admire not only the reflection in the mirror. In addition, you shouldn't forget about the quality of the picture. According to a friend of mine who works at one of Sivma's outlets, the quality of photographs depends not only on the camera, but also on the film, as well as the level of the printing press in the darkroom. Therefore, before carrying the film for development and printing, think carefully: is it worth leaving it in a stall near the metro or still bother to take one of the major dealers of photo companies to a special store. Private shops with signs "Kodak", "Fuji", etc. sometimes do not even have a certificate of conformity to standards.

I remember that there was no time, and the pictures were needed in the evening, I took a chance and gave them to a nearby photo office. Honestly, I did not immediately recognize my face, and the hair, naturally light blond, became with some kind of pink tint. "This is still nothing" - the lady sympathized, having heard my claims. "I received a film from my relatives (my niece got married), I made it with these charlatans, - so the bride's dress is not white, but green." I hope you will take this fact into account if you do not already have pictures in which the faces on the negative look more positive than on the picture.

In everyday life, we rarely go to professional photographers. Although in neighboring Europe, the tradition of family photography in the studio has not yet been lost, which people visit at least once a year. In general, this is our smallest difference from Europe.

So, if you still cannot afford a trip to a photo artist (by the way, this is no longer a privilege of stars), I will try to give some important advice so that children and grandchildren find interesting shots in your album.

№1. Before the next celebration or just a bachelorette party, not without the presence of a camera, take the trouble to once again pay attention to the mirror. It is worth grimacing, flirting, extracting your deeply hidden acting abilities out. After a while, you will surely find some winning angles.

№2. When you "pose" in front of the camera, try not to slouch, straighten your shoulders, draw in your stomach.

№3. An interesting fact - a photo will add 10 kg to your real weight. Did you notice that you look bigger in the photo? For example, every time I stop eating fruits and vegetables, switching to pancakes and donuts, I argue in a similar way for the last series of pictures in a circle of friends.

№4. You shouldn't take portraits with amateur cameras. Soap boxes use wide-angle lenses, and when the camera is brought close to the face, a distorted image is obtained.

№5. You cannot shoot from top to bottom, unless, of course, you want to then "without makeup in a horror film." The legs are small, the body is disproportionate, and the face (which is closer to the lens) is excessively large. By the way, do not lose your sense of proportion, removing from below, in order to get your feet out of your teeth.

№6. A photo is considered unsuccessful when it is divided in half by the horizon or any other line: either more grass or the sky. When photographing a landscape, do not forget that sometimes it is not always possible to combine all forms of the body and the beauty of nature harmoniously. Probably, you have pictures in which half (sometimes even large) of the body is cut off, but the mountains (sea, field of flowers) turned out excellently.

№7. The favorite pastime of those who like to click is to place on one photo both an object, and that granite man, and a palace in the background. In this situation, try to trick it so that later on the print you get the legs of the object, and the head of a man made of granite, and even part of the royal domain.

№8. The most successful light is soft, diffused, which does not give harsh shadows. And, for example, the shadow from the nose can distort facial features. The sun should not be shining into the lens.

№9 … Please note that photo (video) cameras sometimes have problems with reproducing certain tones and color combinations. Pale blue may appear white. Red, orange (like most "warm" shades) "blend" out of the contour. Yellow can cast reflections on the face, making the skin look unhealthy. By the way, about weight gain. White will add another 2-3 kg to you.

№10. It is advisable not to expose individual parts of the body too close in front of the lens - this threatens that these particular parts will stand out disproportionately.

№11. You should not be squeezed and complex, relax, forget about your shortcomings, try to look natural. The main thing, of course, is everything in moderation. Naturalism in photographs is far from new. Only, I want to warn immodest models, your photos will surely settle in the archives of "printing" offices. I will again mention my friend from Sivma. Once, visiting this subject (after taking the nth dose), my friends and I looked through an album with a "Piquant" sticker. Erotica in "Play boy" is resting !!! Our Russian young ladies are much more relaxed than those there. There is no such thing in any internet sites. Here you can find "ladies with dogs" and bunnies with carrots …

I remembered how my friend and I, giggling, gave the film with the "immodest" frame in which I captured my boyfriend in the shower (moreover, he managed to close the causal place with a washcloth). Who knew then that it was an innocent prank in the eyes of a photographic company servant. Yes, by the way, it is possible (moreover, there are precedents) that resourceful "printers" will then demand certain sums for the return of the "chernushka". Then all pleasure will surely be spoiled.
