In recent times South Korea has become the center of fashion and beauty. Outshining even Hollywood’s influence, more and more people look towards this small nation for the newest trends and aesthetics. Suffice to say Korean culture has taken over the Internet and modern culture.
In this article, we will help you jump on the bandwagon of this newest trend, so that your pictures can look like the those taken by celebrities and idols.
Proven Korean Posing Tips
Taking the perfect photo for your social media accounts can be surprisingly difficult. After all, it is difficult to make your poses feel dynamic and avoid awkwardness.
Pose with your hands
It is normal to have asymmetrical faces, and one side of our face often looks better than the other. Before taking selfies, figure out which is your best side. Always ensure that you face the camera with the side that brings you the most confidence. Not only will this show your cute style, it will also give your audience a break from staring at your face by drawing the eye towards the hand. Accordingly, this gives off an “effortless beauty” sentiment.
A good way to position your hand is to cup your face with it. Many popular celebrities take their selfies in this way. Which is not surprising, because cupping your face with your hands help alleviate the distortion due to the camera lenses, maintaining the original shape of your face.
Another common way to pose with your hands is to position your fingers along the jawline. This will not only accentuate your features, but also make your face look slimmer and jaw sharper.
Create a dynamic body pose
The most awkward photo is where the person is stiff and standing still. The best trick to avoid this situation is to follow the “coffin rule”. Despite the intimidating name, the concept behind it is simple. If your body looks like it can fit in a coffin, then change it! This can be accomplished a multitude of ways like spreading your legs and putting your arms up. Anything that adds a but of dynamics into your pose is a great start.
The Perfect Background For Pictures
Use natural lighting
In the modern Internet climate, more and more people are looking towards authenticity. Candid shots are popular these days because it accomplishes precisely this. Korean celebrities are no strangers to this trend and often post photos in nature or on the streets. Candid shots are a good way to appear more vibrant and down-to-earth. All you need is good natural lighting and a space you feel comfortable moving around in.
Make use of your environment
To truly take jaw dropping photos you need to engage with your surroundings. For example, sitting on stairs and extending your legs are a great way to do this. Another popular method is to prop your leg up on something or hold an item in your hands. This not only allows you to show off your body, but also lets you pick the best angles for your pics.
Take pictures at an angle
Taking your pictures straight up is the most conventional way of doing so, which is precisely why taking them at an angle is so effective. It allow you to be creative and show off your quirky nature. Additionally, taking a picture in the standard 90 degrees angle is too formal. By switching it up with an 45 degrees, 120 degrees, or even a full 180 degrees photo your feed will be much more unique and inspired.
