You have decided to create a profile on an online dating website and post pictures in it. Pictures must be of good quality, it is natural, therefore, came to apply to the photographer. Prepare yourself, here are some hints from professional photographers.
Makeup. Even if you do not normally use makeup, use makeup for the shoot. In any of the women's magazines you'll find a bunch of tips on the rules applying makeup, so I will focus only on the specific photo for a directory of dating. To get a good photo of cosmetics should be used a lot, but the picture you have to look as though he had not used it at all. This is called - "natural look", the main point here - to use make-up pale pastel shades.
Even if you have a perfect complexion, apply foundation, otherwise the picture will look like your skin is covered with reddish spots. Apply a layer of powder over tones to avoid shine.
Use a shade of brown or gray tones without nacre, refrain from bright blue, purple or pink. Smudge eyeliner - thick black lines around the eyes of old and look vulgar. Mascaras can and must use a lot, it will give you the look and expressive depth. Do not use color ink.
Eyebrows to shoot to put in order. They should not be too thick or thin, and better do it in a beauty salon, this procedure is expensive. Move them a little bit, you can use for this is not a pencil, and shadows of the right color. A bit of blush apricot or brown tint, imposed on the cheekbones, the face will give the necessary relief. Be sure you use a pencil to outline lips. Full lips do not require a reduction - in the West stars spend thousands of dollars for the operation of filling the mouth with a special gel to make them puffy. Full lips look more sexy. Recently, in one of the fashion magazines I read an opinion that is too full lips does not happen! Too thin lips can be corrected with pencil and lipstick, but you know the measure.
Use lipstick red, brown or dark-pink hue. Do not use the purple and crimson hues, and bright lipstick with mother of pearl. Dark lipstick ages. Take a beautician with them to shoot to quickly correct a potential defect. The qualitative makeup it will take 1-2 hours. Take advantage of the make-up, if you can afford it. If you can not, is guided by photographs of the covers of women's magazines such as "Cosmopolitan" - all-girl models, tons of makeup, but you would not say, right?
Hairstyle. Like the makeup, hairstyle requires a lot of attention, but it should not cause the feeling that you spent half a day in a barbershop. Hair must be clean and shiny. If you dye your hair, do it just before the shooting, the roots were the same color as her hair. Try to avoid unnatural colors like platinum or bright red. If you have long hair, leave them loose, if required, only slightly the stock tips. Straight hair is now in vogue. Short hair should be neatly trimmed and stacked. Absolutely contraindicated in greased back hair and a pony. If you have a perm, hair should not "stand on end." Place them in a smooth hair with gel or mousse. Do not forget to take the survey comb, curling and hairspray.
Clothing. Clothes for filming should be simple, feminine and stylish. It is better to choose a dress or blouse, opening the neck and hands. Avoid turtlenecks and sweaters. Color: preferably the main range - white, blue, red, gray, black. Definitely contraindicated in fluorescent shades of yellow, orange or green. You probably know what colors you do not go. Do not wear well as a motley and striped dress - she brings a sense of vanity and diverts attention away from your face. Try to pick colors that match the color of your eyes: blue-eyed girl in a blue dress will look at the picture better than the brown. If all the details of your toilets are designed in one color - for example, sand - it gives your appearance elegance and style.
Texture: silk, velvet, fine knits - fabric should look soft and pleasant to the touch. Stop the choice for a modern, trendy but not a toilet, and better wear something classic. No Lurex, ryushechek, flounces. Very well looked "evening" dress with bare shoulders.However, the choice is yours - to seek to emphasize the advantages of your figure and hide flaws. Select clothes that you can feel natural for a dating routine.
Typically, our women tend to wear mini-skirts - a right, it is not necessary. If you want to show their great legs (if they are really great, demonstrate necessarily) can wear a long skirt with a slit opening leg, it will look a lot sexier. In general, the West is considered bad form, if a woman is 30 years old wearing a skirt that opens knees for more than 10.5 centimeters. Want to show your figure - choose fitting dress. If, on the contrary, it is necessary to conceal figure flaws, chose a closed loose fitting dark colored. Do not make the photos in underwear, dressing gowns, negligees, half-dressed (bra and pants or a shirt) - it looks vulgar.
If you want to emphasize the advantages of your figure - more clear in a swimsuit.Photo in a bathing suit can be made at the studio and on the beach or in the gym (but not at home!). These pictures look sexy and always attract attention, and at the same time quite decent.
If you're worried about the problem areas (cellulite on the thighs, etc.), cover their sarong - the West, most women on the beaches enjoy sarong. As a sarong can be any suitable color beautiful scarf, tying it at the waist - Fold scarf in half, if you want to make a "skirt" is smaller. Another option - the top of a bathing suit and shorts.
Shoes. Preferably on a high heel, but not the 15-centimeter "studs." Avoid high platform - like shoes visually mutilated legs. Pick up shoes appropriate for your toilet. Jeans or breeches involve flip-flops, sneakers or boots, not dress shoes. Do not make the picture without shoes in tights.Do not remove a swimsuit and high heels on the beach - at a photo you will certainly look barefoot.
Posture. Pose for photos should be ... - Correct, natural (like everything else!). Some send in photos of the studios where they stand back and only his head turned to the audience.As someone, but I like the photo seem a little pretentious and bad taste. Send her, sorry ass, with the first representing your photos ... Do not go around in the wake of photographers.
Typically, the photos in all growth is not clear what to do with your hands. You can lean on the chair, smoothed her hair, lean face on the arm, etc. It looks very nice on online dating profile.
Details. The photograph should be you and only you. Nothing should distract attention away from your face and figure. Contra: large jewelry, hats, caps, sunglasses, telephone handset at the ear, in the hands of large items - flowers, soft toys, dolls, cats, dogs, dumbbells, balls, umbrellas, etc.
Background. The background should be light - better with white, light beige or light gray. Our sovdepovskie shop for some reason, liked to use bright red and blue background, some of them still continue to do - run run from this place. There are photographers who love to take pictures on a black or dark blue background - do not settle for it, unless you're blonde. Otherwise, when viewed on a computer screen your hair will merge with the background color, even if at the picture you clearly see the difference.
Believe me, I saw dozens of photos taken on a dark background, how they look before and after scanning, and I know for sure: the dark background spoils the picture. Black, brown, green and blue colors tend to blend in, and if you are filmed in a dark green suit against black furniture, will not tell where you end and start the sofa.
Background should be uniform, but in any case does not contain small parts such as books, vases, kitchen utensils, colorful wallpaper or foliage of trees. Absolutely nightmarish look at the photos taken on the background wall carpets. Do not try to use as background the interior of your apartment, office, or attractions such as the Eiffel Tower. I understand that the tower is beautiful and you're awfully proud of the fact that they were in Paris - will send this picture to a potential groom in the first letter of response.
Appearance as a whole. The keyword to describe your appearance for the shooting - naturally. You have to look relaxed and unstressed. Your photo should give the impression of openness, spirituality and sexuality, availability, and at the same time, confidence and self-esteem. In general, the greatest number of letters gets the girl, whose eyes look like a centerfold on the cover of the magazine - a bit mysterious and alluring. Very beautiful girl, looking haughtily receive quite a few letters.
You should look welcoming and friendly. Virtually, on online dating websites all men who come to marriage agencies, are experiencing some difficulty in communicating with the opposite sex (which in any case does not mean there is any mental defects, just that these men are more shy). If a girl looks like is not available, they will not even try to join to contact her. Practice at home before a mirror (I'm serious!). Open, not enslaved by sight - a prerequisite of a "good image". Slightly parted lips give the necessary appearance sexuality.
Also a good post gets the girl with a dazzling smile "in 32 of the tooth." If your face away from the canons of beauty, dazzling smile make him more attractive. Quite ordinary girl with an open smile and high-quality make-up look at the photos of these beauties. Some women try to claim that "the smile they will not go." Not true! A smile comes to anyone, but it must be sincere and not tortured. Think of something cute and funny, think about someone who you care about - the child, the mother, or at least about the last party with friends. If you can not "dazzling" smile, try half-smile ("Mona Lisa Smile"), but in any case not "curve" a smile - an expression can only push.
Relax, the photographer you can not eat. It would be better if you tell him about the purpose of shooting. Maybe you'll feel a little embarrassed talking about it - but he did so, most likely suspects. What do you want him to live? Knowing the purpose of shooting, it will be easier to choose the right moment, when you look so right for online dating.
