What I Remembered Today :: Modeling :: Put Your Best Foot Forward

I realize that I am using the word “modeling” here but let’s be honest, we are always modeling.  Whether we choose to recognize it or not, we are a walking billboard for our clothes, our skin, even the products that we use look a certain way.  Think about it, we’ve all been asked where you got your jacket or what kind of perfume you are wearing; see, you are a walking model at all times.  So, play the part.

We all have our go-to face.  While I am a fan of the “go-to,” experiment and don’t be afraid to take a bad picture, Jesse Eisenberg Mark Zuckerburg was smart enough to give us the option of “untagging” a picture.

{look, ma!  that’s me!}

Also, when taking pictures, feel free to move.  People want to freeze in one solid pose but guess what?  You will look like you are froze.  In.  One.  Solid.  Pose.  That’s what they mean when they say: work it!!!

Watch the master, Gisele, below as she moves and allows the photographer to capture her as she was intended to be seen by the world.  Notice the movement in her freeze frames and the life that it adds.

Do your own personal billboard a favor and add some élan!
