TRICKS TO LOOK FAB IN HOLIDAY SNAPS

LET this be the summer you look back on your holiday photos with pride by following these simple rules:

THE quickest way to look your best is to stand tall. Pull your tummy and ribs in, keep your shoulders down, and imagine a thread pulling your head up.

IF YOU’RE not wearing heels, lifting on to the balls of your feet just as the shutter clicks will elongate your legs. When sitting, rise up on to your toes to lift your legs off the chair. This will give shape to your calves and thighs. Cross your legs at the ankle to create a more elegant shape.

STANDING side-on to the camera is best. Turn your shoulders slightly on the diagonal and look over your front shoulder.

HOLDING your phone 12in above eye level is the most flattering angle for a selfie. Keep your chin down and turn your face slightly.

FOLDING your arms can make them look wider. Let them hang slightly away from the body. Try resting one hand on your hip with your elbow pointing behind you.

A GENUINE smile always looks best, but if you’re nervous this can be hard to pull off. To help you relax, try laughing quietly. It looks far more convincing than a cheesy grin.
