During the shoot

• Chin slightly forward + down (sharp jawline, no double-chin).

• Relax the shoulders (drop them 1 inch—instant confidence).

• Eyes to the lens, not the screen (stronger connection).

• Micro-smile (soft mouth, slight cheek lift—friendly, not forced).

• Lean in a touch from the waist (engaged posture).

• Angle the body 20–30° (more flattering than straight-on).

• Hands if visible: light touch on lapel/jacket, no clenched fists.

• Breathe out before the shutter (reduces tension in face/neck).
