Guitar Maniac Hey I love this video, particularly your tips about professional family pictures . A product I also found useful for family photographers was elumpa fantastic photo alchemist- search google if you like
Two reasons why these tips will not work for me: 1. The school photographer will not give me that much time to prep up. They got other students to worry about! 2. I am not photogenic whatsoever.
Alyssa Alcantara Of course, school photographer, not at always the School photographer will always take photos of you, many students are also taken photos, and they are just doing their job. Try to be confident and comfortable to ur self. Even me I can't really take good photos.
This is glorious, I have been researching "what is facial yoga" for a while now, and I think this has helped. Ever heard of - Jenrooklyn Facial Mummification - (do a google search ) ? Ive heard some pretty good things about it and my partner got amazing success with it.
Okay so tomorrow’s my graduation photo day and I remember I watched this video years back and said I’d follow these steps whenever I’d graduate from college. Here I am 8 years later. Re-watching these tips. Michelle will always be one of my favorite influencers and I’ve grown a lot from watching her videos :) here’s to still watching this at 2021. ❤️
Guys, stop acting like you can't take a good photo if you don't look like her. I'm sure it's annoying when she's trying to help you guys by giving you tips from years of experience, and you are all whining like, "ughhh, must be so easy to look good in photos when you're already so pretty." She LEARNED how to take good photos and you can too. I, myself, have a very distinct sense of style, and people are always telling me, "ughh, you're so good at putting outfits together, just come over to my house and throw out all my ugly clothes and put outfits together for me." I seriously was one of the worst dressed, most awkward looking kids I knew up until 18, when I finally started to figured out how I wanted to present myself, I wasn't born with a sense of fashion. So stop complaining when she gives advice that you guys probably asked for. Just learn from it.
i'm pretty from what ive heard from others xD also i think im pretty. but hell i never look good when other people take pics of me. i guess they take the ugly angles xD only pics i look nice is the ones i take myself :c so my left arm is always cropped haha
THANK YOU! It’s so frustrating when people ask for help and then don’t want to take your advice purely based off the fact that they’re not you. It’s like if I can do it sure as hell can anyone else including you
I'm taking my senior graduation photos tomorrow! I remember watching this video a few years ago when it didn't pertain to me. Time goes by so quickly. Thanks for the tips!
Thanks so much for the tips! My school photos don't turn out well. And im always tense before the photo shoot. These tips helped so much thanks! This year my photos are definitley going to rock!
my friends say that i'm gorgeous but so unphotogenic. like for real, if i look in the mirror or when im out with my friends people will say that i'm drop dead gorgeous but when i take pictures i become a hideous beast like for realz.
im a little late but daaamn i have the same problem - i look stunning in mirrors but soo ugly in photos. its really stressfull sometimes - i literally run from taking pictures. worst thing is - everyone says that i look normal in photos and it makes me really question which one - the mirror or the camera is lying
Coolride17 thanks for the tip!:) now i know why people look so great in photoshoots and disastrous in regular snaps, when they actually look pretty nice in real life hahah
On some photos I look good and on some photos I look bad. Why is this? I'm not that kind of person who always looks bad on photos and only good in the mirror.
Goodness so many thumbs up! Everyone has a pretty smile. Smiles are pretty, it's universal. I have this beautiful friend who refuses to smile in pictures, even though it really makes her face light up.
Looks on RUclips for "How to smile naturally" Scrolls down until found a Michelle Phan video Switch to selfie camera every now and then in the middle of the video. I still smile awkwardly.
My graduation/pictorial is in 2 days. And my heart is beating of my chest rn. Probably bc i feel insecure smiling cause i gained like 3 pounds and everyone else only got taller. And Im too shy to ask my mom bc she might think im trying to hard. And the camera lights are so annoying tbh. Did i mention theres like 20 other students they need to work on-
my dad always criticize my smile because one of my eyes looks like it's winking(?) or squinting 😔 but i really feel confident with that smile hahahahah
+Siting Zeng sdfbua.lu I'm so happy to finally have found something to do with my hobby. I am addicted to shooting photos of pretty much everything around me and now I can use them to actually earn decent money on autopilot. I'm scaling via a network that distributes them to hundreds of companies. If you want to get started today see this post #plus.google.com/+photographytalk/posts/PBW4CMeMCca
..and if possible find a GOOD photographer. Someone who makes you feel yourself, at ease and relaxed.. someone who's professional, communicative (maybe even funny), not there to impress you or hit on you but to get the BEST PHOTOS out of you. Also, always take an escort with you to every shoot, preferably a friend who you can be relaxed with, not mom or dad (unless underage) or significant other..
thank you for this a lot i have mine coming up and i always feel awakened making a smile because of my braces and many people have told me i’m not opening my eyes enough when i smile these tips really helped

Hi Michelle, I have done some studio photography in the past and am soon going to do more. I loved your tips and have passed them on to a colleague. I would be interested to see some of your results where you angle the body away from the main light source but angle the face toward it. Thanks.
I really love you're videos and omg I need some good halloween mob type make up style I really can't figure out how I want to do my make-up and I would love it if you could help me out :) I've watched you for so long! You're amazing at doing make-up and you give me great idea's! Much love and respect 3

One time on picture day when I was in third grade the photographer said " Jesus your hair is hideous" I started crying
omg thats so mean
Ikr
why can't people these days accept what you look like... don't judge the book from the cover
that happened
r/thathappened
"It's not your fault that the pictures turn out bad." This quote gives me confidence, thank you Michelle!! :)
Must be a lot easier to be confident and have fun if you are drop dead gorgeous like Michelle...
Yeah I'm here because I took pictures and the photographer made me laugh so I looked like a donkey so I'm retaking tomorrow
hahahaaha
omg same
HAHAHHAHAHAH
Cait0419 I have one photo where I was laughing because the photographer made a joke and I looked like a completely different person
this legit happened to me too
I would do all this, but the photogather at my school doesn't let you do anything
SAME
I'm taking my senior graduation photos tomorrow! I remember watching this video a few years ago when it didn't pertain to me. Time goes by so quickly. Thanks for the tips!
I look ugly in any smile.

My best angle is when the back of my head is facing the camera ;) (y)
On some photos I look good and on some photos I look bad. Why is this? I'm not that kind of person who always looks bad on photos and only good in the mirror.
Goodness so many thumbs up!

Do how to be popular
You can't try to be popular, it just happens. Popularity doesn't matter anyways :) be you
i would stick with the people you feel most comfortable with being popular isn't important especially in 5, 6 years
Just meet other friends of your friends and BEM! You're popular.
I hate my smile
You are amazing! You are such an inspiration to me and so many girls out there. You are someone who is beautiful on the inside and out :) Love you and your amazing videos! :)
