Facial expression can make or break a great photo. Be sure
to practice expressions at home. Simply look into your big bathroom mirror and
experiment with a variety of expressions. Sure a nice smile is great but there
are also some powerful expressions with small smiles, closed mouth, open mouth,
big eyes, looking over your shoulder back at the camera, and more. Grab a
handful of fashion magazines and looks to see what expressions the models are
doing – then you copy their expressions in the mirror. Don’t be afraid to try
these in front of the camera. You might be surprised at how great you look with
an expression you never would have thought of on your own. Don’t forget to
experiment with how much you open your eyes for the camera. There are times
when big eyes look fantastic and other times when squinting works best.
Photographers are going to be excited that you are working your face through a
full range of expressions. You will eventually find that you have your own
“look” with a handful of expressions that work best with the shape of your
face.
