Tips & Tricks for better photographs of yourself



Recommended Posts

Most of us have avoided the camera for years, and only now discovering that photos can be fun! I found this wonderful article posted by a friend of mine who is a professional photographer. It's a long read, the videos are long, and I'm an impatient person. But I can tell you, it was worth every minute. I think many women seem to know these tricks but I'm not that girly so it was all news to me, man!

I'm not sure about the "Squinch" (too much like duck lips if you ask me), but the jawline portion along--how to position your head so your bone structure shows but not your double chin--is worth the time I spent on it.

I hope you guys get something out of it as well!

Enjoy!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
