I am not a photographer...but it was helpful for me. I always feel awkward when I am in a photo, and it shows! I will use your tips next time I allow someone to take a photo of me.
Same here just will avoid photos like the plague, so next time someone insists I hope to remember these tricks. Thank you.
Likewise!
Same! ❤️
Exactly
How do you not have a tv show??? Somebody needs to get you contracted for a show TODAY! This is SO helpful! I love the expression re-set! I'm a therapist and trained in hypnotherapy and I study people's faces when they are in the mental places I ask them to go and the expression is key to ensuring they are in a safe place--it make SO MUCH SENSE to do this in photography!! You are amazing!
I love the idea of giving someone a mental image, thoughts are powerful
You are adorable! And I mean your personality. :) I love your energy. I love the outtakes. You come off as a strong, confident woman and that's the best part. Actually, the best part is that you're helping others look their best so that they can feel confident and it's all about enjoying and flattering your body. Not changing or hating it. Thank you!
What a beautiful caring reply.
I've been an actor for 30 yearts, and your tips are fresh! I am definitely going to use the reset (look down, breathe, think of a friend, look up) and the angle look but returning eyes front! (One also gets more white in the eyes that way! However, I have yet to master the cool confident look. When I thought of the party, my little niece singining, and I looked up -- ok, yeah, I was crying. LOL
Oh wow I love it! I was actually an actor too many years ago. I'm so glad it resonated with you!!!
About time there should be a heart button on You Tube. Heart heart for this.
I like that you recognize and call out fake smiles. That makes things more relaxed. So 😎.
The eye contact is surely one tip I will keep in mind when I give Talks on Zoom. I really need to learn to give my listeners the authenticity they get from face-to-face that's difficult to get from virtual.
FINALLY!!! Thank you, thank you, thank you!! I'm a 50 year old psychologist who has hated how I look in non-candid photos my entire life and wished for the secrets of how to control myself to look photogenic rather than "frump girl". You are a God send! I cried after watching this & your posture video! God bless you and your work! I'm off to practice & be ready for the next photo op!!
I often accuse my clients of giving me a “JCPenney” (i.e. fake) smile, which usually makes them giggle & get it together. Lol.
I am glad you asked for comments. I think you will understand what I say in a way that no one else is equipped to grasp. I grew up with a parent that has a personality disorder. She has always been model material, 5'11" 115 lbs pretty face. Dad is handsome so no doubt I am their blend.
We would have a family photo session for the formal suitable for framing type photos taken at the photographers, she would be unhappy with the proofs when the rest of us and the photographer would say that we think this and this one are beautiful and ask why she doesn't like them, her answer was because my daughter looks better than me. And we would have to remake appointments, redress, redo hair etc and she insisted and directed me at home how to "stop looking better than her ". Even our passport pictures when I was young she would reject the photos that she said I looked to good in. ( Kids under 7-8 are in the same passport as the mother). It became ingrained in me to dread, feel scared, insecure in front of a camera. I'd be so nervous getting even a fun screen shots. When I realized why I was so paranoid of camera's and worked on that issue to gain some comfort I still didn't take good photos. I stumbled onto a YT of models telling how to pose then realized it's the look on my face haha that is never adequate. I said to myself that I bet a great photographer tells people and pulls a look they perceive. So here you are healing that final wounded place in my self esteem with your video. Thank you for this and I'll be learning more from you as well. Had you ever thought you would be a healer? You have my thanks!
This is also really good advice for how to regulate my own facial expression irl. Wish someone had taught me this about two decades ago. I'm on the autism spectrum and my facial expressions don't always match what I'm actually feeling, so your explanation about the various facial muscles really helped me. Thanks for sharing! :)
Great tips for both photographers and sitters. Nice job, Ms Gia!
Oh thanks Shellee! This video is a bit of a sleeper and not very many people have watched it so it means a lot to get positive feedback on it!
Ok, you made me tear up when I imagined my son and me being proud of him😭😭
Beautiful Gia! Thank you so much for sharing your expertise, your personality and your heart! Love your work and greatly appreciate your willingness to share! YOU ROCK!
We have family photos coming up. I have never taken any family photos because I am so "unphotogenic" ! I love these tips.
You are such a rad human and fabulous teacher, Gia! Thanks for this. Been photographing humans for two decades and most of this was unique advice I have never heard before. Super valuable 💜
This was so cool! The reset lesson was BIG for me. That and the 'powerful warmth' expression. I'm going to practice this more often thanks so much for these tips!!
The reset breath is golden. Thank you so much for that information.
You're amazing 👏🏽💖 I'm not a photographer but a self professed selfie queen and I thought I knew when I was being authentic and fake with my expressions (because selfies involve examining your face all the time) but this took me to school! Between this and your posing video I'm so much more confident with my face and my body whether I'm taking my own pics or someone else is. You're a rock star, thanks for sharing!
I like your "fun" manner. I'm a resident volunteer photographer at the retirement commujnity where I live. I take an introduction photo to put on our CCTV so others can welcome them. I always turn them so the photo is not like a mug shot and try to get them to laugh. Thanks for all your tips.
Outstanding tutorial. Loved the technique of having someone visualize different thoughts to bring out different expressions - truly brilliant!!
My favorite part of this is listening to how you say everything you say. Its obvious that it comes from a deep well of experience.
This is a great video for me especially, as I have a child with autism. It is often difficult to take photos without a fake grimace from her. She doesn't understand how to smile naturally whether I sneak up with a camera or ask for a pose. So now at 12, its still not easy to snap a picture of the lovely girl I see every day, and there aren't many keepers here. You have shared some of the greatest tips to help me purposefully create her more natural self in a picture. I look forward to using everything I am learning from you to finally have some great pictures of her! THANK YOU!
Im doing my first pole shoot on Sunday and one of the model mentioned to me that her biggest struggle is where to look and how to relax her face, I just discovered your channel and I really like and appreciate what I've seen so far! Definitely got some good insight on finding that relaxed and authentic look I want and I also learned some of the terminology for things I already practice and didnt know. Great work! Thank you for the video.
I’m a model, not a photographer, but these informations come quite handy to me too
Gia, you are by far the most incredible talent I've seen on YT in a long time. Thank you for being so generous with your expertise. I'm a stylist and know I will use all of these tips for shoots. Not every photog will help a client feel at ease and now I know how to help my client ease into poses and get the most out of their experience. Thank you!
Love you, love the resetting tip. Absolutely going to use this the next time I have to take a photo. Thank you!
I NEVER leave comments on videos. You have such a beautiful vibe I had to leave one. I really hate getting my pics taken, this will be helpful. Thank you.
I just found you and I’m NOT a photographer but goodness you just taught me so much. Watch my selfie game go up!!!! Thank you
Just found your videos. I'm not a photographer but need to pose for some important pics. Your advice, knowledge, and expertise is SUPER HELPFUL! Thank you!
I love that you give preset images in someone’s mind take a breath and look and I like that because that gave me some insight to my own photos.
I love your energy and delivery. It makes me want to meet you. Thank you for talking, with positive feedback to clients. I feel like I can hear your voice and see you in my head. The more I see, the better I feel I've mentally catalogued. Looking forward to to this. My daughter is interested in photography. I plan to show her too. Mom and daughter time.
The giggling for a real smile - love it! For my sister's wedding, the photographer was getting some shots of just the two of us and told us to fake laugh. We ended up doing the same stupid, very fake, laugh, and it turned into real laughter for us both and THAT one was the shot!
This is awesome. Love that reset idea and the looking down and imagining something.
Love love love your tips - I can tell you are probably a great director!
Love your videos! It's really helpful when you show & direct your photo shoot of a model so we can visualize the process. Thank you for all the golden tips!!!
OMG, I love your tips! Im a photographer and I haven't been doing portraits forever and you just made me wanna do one, tomorrow!
BEST! Loving your content Gia
Great tips - you are so fun to watch!
I like the part about looking down and then back up and creating a vision of a warm event.
I love the way you explain and your close up on camera as you talk. Amazing
Wonderful!!! What a useful set of advice! I'm not a photographer, not a model either, I'm just a common person who wants to look great in photos and videos. Great job! Thanks a lot!
Thank you for this. I hate having my picture taken, and always look awkward. I'll try these tips the next time I'm in front of the camera.
Ditto. Takes me a while to get my face relaxed for an authentic shot. Not a natural. So your ideas are welcome. Hoping you're keeping safe and well ?
I love the reset tip. I'm definitely going to use this!
I can’t wait to try some of your tips. I hate having my photo taken because it ALWAYS turns out terrible. Maybe I can change from looking mean, sad, dumb, bored or my other usual expressions
Gia, I love all the remarkable pointers and shared them with family. Keep up the great job!
Thank you! I'm not a photographer either, but your videos give me confidence and energy. You bring it young lady!!
Best tips on the net! You’re so expressive!
Hi Gia. I am not a photographer (although I sometimes dream I am), I was someone totally feeling intimidated by this world of having to participate in video conferencing. I stumbed upon and was intrigued by your video on how to look good on Zoom. That led me to other videos followed by me subscribing. What I absolutley loved - as in light bulb confidence boost - was this video. This video helped me to feel more confident when in the presence of others; how a stand, how I look, but most of all explained why people are uncomfortable with my tip 4 expression I do without realising. If ever you're interested in taking on a 54 year old, no-experience, 'gofer/apprentice', then look me up.
Favorite tips: grasping 'fresh expression' and capturing 'warmth' by recalling something. Thank you!
I’m not a photographer but this was the most helpful video I’ve seen so far. Love it love you❤️🙏🏾
I am a clothing creator who relies on my not-a-photographer husband to take photos of me wearing my work> This was super helpful for *me* since he just thinks any photo is good enough. I'm going to show him this video too so he can remind me of your tips.
As always, fantastic tips and strategies =) loved all of it, especially giggle, and emotional imagery
Thank you!! This is exactly what I needed for an upcoming brand shoot I'm in. Been looking for videos on how to be authentic on camera.
You have a great way of explaining photographic tricks that can be adapted for the regular person. Worth the view!
Amazing. What an art this is, and talent you have, Gia.
Love it !!!
So sometimes it's hard to be happy spontaneously, especially after grief. It's like forgetting how to smile. Have you ever had a client who's extra sensitive? How do you approach this situation, knowing they need a good headshot for their job?
You are fantastic...I like that you move along...great pointers!
I loved the comments you make to get a genuine smile and look of confidence.
Sooooo good! You are becoming a quick favorite of mine.
I'm not a photographer but will be using your tips! I love your videos - I've been binging them all night! :)
I’m so grateful I came across your channel! This is the first time in years(ssss) I’ve thought this but I can’t wait to be in front of the camera again 😇🥰🤩 You’re videos are amazing ! Thank you for sharing this 💜💜💜💜💜💜
I love photography. And have been the photographer in my family for several years. Always at events and parties with my camera. I use the "reset mode" a lot. I've found it's the best way of getting an authentic picture. 😁
Love it brings a lot of tips together for me!
Really helpful and refreshing. Resetting tip rocks! Thank you!
Wow, you're really good. I've been shooting probably as long as you're old and I never heard anyone put it like you did. THANK YOU GIA!!!
I love all of the tips, but the Powerful Warmth Expression was the tip that I will take the most from this video. I immediately started follow the imaginery that you were presenting...it worked! Thank you! God Bless!!!
i have a photoshoot coming up in a week and this is so timely to watch! x
Thank you - loved your tips!
I can't wait to try this!!
I love this video!!! Everything you say is so wise and spot-on!!!!
So glad I found you. Excellent content - thanks so much!
I love all these tips and your are totally engaging!! I hate how I look in most photos, so this will help me as well.
Thanks for your advice, I'm a really awkward picture taker on both sides of the camera, and the tips you shared will help a lot.
Gia! Exceptional. Thank you!
Love your content! You are so nice to listen to!
I’ve been getting a lot of work as an adventure sports model. I had zero modeling experience. And most photographers I’ve worked with don’t give any, or offer very little direction. So, I feel limited in the number of expressions I’ve been offering. This video is very helpful to a new model. Thank you.
Thank you! I love this video. I am not a photographer, but most of the time I don't like photos of myself & selfies, don't even get me started. I can't wait to use what you teach in this video & I'm going to check out your other videos too.
I just stumbled upon your videos, and they. are. awesome! I am the worst when it comes to having pictures taken of me because I feel so awkward. Your tips are clear and doable even for non-models; thank you!!
This is absolutely fantastic, hate having my photo taken and these tips are just awesome!! Got a wedding coming up and was thinking of trying to shy away from the photos, now I might be at front lol - thank you x
This was so helpful. Much appreciated.
Great content. Best I've seen in a long time

Such a great video! Awesome tips!
Your tips are so good, thanks! Very concise information - you give out a lot! I always struggle knowing what to tell people, and now I got a ton to say!
I photograph nature normally and don’t have a clue how to pose or make suggestions when I photograph people. These are awesome tips that I will definitely make use of. Thank you.
