How to Look your Best in Every Photo

In today’s world of social media, those super unflattering shots we used to hide in our desk drawers are now being broadcast online in epic proportions for all to see. Looking awesome in photos can definitely be a tough thing to master, but we promise there’s hope. Get ready to say cheese!!!

For selfies, a window, lamp, or doorway can also work as great light sources; just face in the direction of the light, and snap.
