They say the camera adds 10 pounds.

And sometimes it seems to magnify our other flaws, as well - wrinkles, pimples, age spots, bad hair days, awkward body shapes, and more.

Everyone has insecurities when it comes to capturing their image - and preserving it forever - in print or on screen. It's no secret that even the most attractive movie stars, like Julia Roberts and Brad Pitt, use body doubles for close-ups.


But what do celebrities do when it's time to walk the red carpet in front of hundreds of photographers? They can't depend on someone else to look good for them.

So they use special tricks that make them look slimmer, younger, and healthier in every photo - even in those bright, glaring lights. With a twist of the hips, a little shift of weight, and a tilt of the head, they immediately look 10 pounds lighter -- and in that moment, they don't even have the advantage of flattering lighting and computer retouching.

But you can have those advantages and more.

In fact, you can combine the same tricks that celebrities use to look good on the red carpet with easy tips from a professional portrait photographer. Like tips on how to pose, what to wear, what colors to choose, how to use lighting to your advantage, and more... Put it all together, and suddenly you'll be one of those infuriating people who look good in every single photo.

So from now on, you can look slimmer, younger, more healthy, and more natural in every photo you take. Plus, be sure that each photo of you captures - and preserves forever - your most beautiful features - and just sort of magically ignores the rest.

  • Smooth out the neck line and eliminate double-chin or flabby neck skin.
  • Get rid of reflections in eyeglasses.
  • Pick out clothing that will flatter your figure in photographs.
  • Use angles to turn away from the camera for your most slimming silhouette.
  • Eliminate flabby arms.
  • Give men a more "chiseled" look.
  • Choose colors that will make you look healthy and slim.
  • Erase blemishes and wrinkles for a finished, flawless look.
  • What to wear to make your neck look longer.
  • Find someone's most photogenic side.
  • Use color to create depth.
  • Set up soft lighting that hides imperfections.
  • Get a genuine, natural smile.
  • Use light and shadow to select what you want the camera to see, and hide the rest.
  • And much more.

    And while we might all be beautiful on the inside, sometimes a few tweaks here and there can make us even MORE beautiful - and more appealing to photo buyers - on the outside. Applying these professional portrait photography techniques can help you get your photos accepted faster - and make them sell more often whether for business or pleasure..
