Who wouldn't have a bit of suspense when taking pictures at school. Maybe you feel stressed because you want to look perfect, maybe you have had a bad experience since the last time and you don't want to do it again this time. Luckily, if you take care of your appearance, practice photo-taking and good hygiene, you will be completely at ease and ready to take the perfect photo at school.

Steps

Method 1 of 3: Improve appearance

  1. Choose your outfit. Take a look at your wardrobe and think which one you wear best. Remember what colors you usually get complimented on, and what shirts you usually wear on a date. Avoid clothing that is white, clothes with confusing patterns, vibrant colors, or that have prominent letters and logos on them.
    • If in doubt, wear dark colors and one color.
    • Do not wear too deeply ripped shirt.
    • Do not wear transparent fabrics.

  2. Use only simple accessories. Earrings, watches, bracelets, necklaces, scarves or large accessories will only obscure your face and smile. If you want to wear jewelry, you should choose small, beautiful, simple items that do not immediately meet the eye of the viewer.
    • Wear a thin necklace of gold or silver and small earrings instead of a large thick and colorful necklace.
    • Remember to wear a watch that's right for your wrist and not too flashy.

  3. Makeup so natural. Make up as light and natural as possible. Use cosmetics sparingly, lather makeup to make your face look like a "mask". Remember that you need to show your beauty naturally, not overdo it.
    • Only apply a thin layer of brown mascara to bring subtle beauty to the eyes.
    • Avoid lip colors that are too bright or too dark.

  4. Don't change your appearance too much. Avoid big changes when taking care of the look, such as changing to a new acne cream or a new striking hair color. You may like these changes, but it is also possible that the results will not be what you expected.
  5. Don't worry too much about a perfect look. Do not give yourself pressure to be beautiful "sparkling". If you've just lost a front tooth or your hair is stubbornly ruffled and refuses to get into the fold, that's okay. Later you will want to review the photo to see what you really look like at this age. Lovely flaws won't ruin your image either. advertisement

Method 2 of 3: Practice taking photos

  1. Practice laughing. Stand in front of the mirror and practice smiling. This can be a bit silly, but if you want to get the right shots, you'll have to know how to have the most natural and sexy smile.
    • You should also try taking a few selfies first. Real pictures will help you know what to adjust.
  2. Try shooting at several angles and choose a shooting angle. School portraits are usually shot straight, but a subtle change in the head pose can make a big difference. When practicing smiling in front of the mirror or when practicing taking pictures yourself, try adjusting your head slightly in a few different positions to find out which one makes your face look its best.
    • Avoid posing poses, such as resting your chin on a fist.
    • Be sure to sit upright or stand up straight when taking the photo.
  3. Listen to the photographer. If you can listen, you will get a much better picture. The photographers at school are professional, so it's best to do as they say. Listen to and respect photographers like any other adult.
  4. Think about funny stories. To avoid awkward or fake smiles, think about something that makes you happy when taking pictures. Think of you playing with your dog or eating a favorite treat. advertisement

Method 3 of 3: Keep personal hygiene

  1. Shower regularly. A clean and clean body will help you look and feel comfortable in front of the camera. Use shampoo, conditioner, soap or shower gel. Be sure to rub the soap from head to toe. It is best to shower the night before the morning of taking photos at school.
    • A 5-10 minute shower with warm or cool water is good for your skin.
    • Pat the skin dry with a towel, then apply moisturizer.
  2. To comb. At the very least, brush tangled hair to make it look neat and beautiful. If desired, you can straighten it, curl it, or inflate it for a slightly more special look.
  3. Take care of your face. Wash your face every day, and if there's anything you can do to prevent acne, do it. This will increase your chances of having a face that is clear, radiant, and beautiful on the day of the photo shoot.
    • Use a gel cleanser or a foaming cleanser if you have normal or oily skin.
    • Use a moisturizing cleanser if your skin is dry.
  4. Take care of your teeth. Remember to brush and floss daily in the morning and at night to kill bacteria and help whiten teeth, prevent gum disease and prevent tooth decay. Make sure to brush your teeth for about 2 minutes at a time for a bright smile.
  5. Bring a mirror and a comb to school. Look in the mirror before taking the photo, maybe there is ketchup on your cheeks from lunch, or a few strands of hair stick up on your head. You should put the folding mirror and comb into your backpack the night before to check your face again before appearing in front of the camera.
  6. Cut hair two weeks before the photo shoot. The newly trimmed hair looks great in the school photos.For a neat, clean look, cut your hair a few days or a week in advance.
  7. Stay healthy before taking pictures. Be sure to drink enough fluids and get enough sleep for several days before the photo shoot. You will have a bright smile and beautiful healthy skin if the body is rested and hydrated. advertisement

Advice

  • Try to be confident. Don't assume that you're ugly, as that will only lower your self-esteem.
  • Compare photos taken at school from previous years to see what you can improve next time.
  • Try taking pictures yourself before taking them at school. You can then view the photo and know what adjustments you need to make to make it look better.
  • Make sure to prepare clean clothes several days before the photo shoot.

Warning

  • You might regret taking a picture of a lip makeup or a clown face. Instead of doing so, smile!
