![]() ![]() Spend a little time preparing and do whatever is necessary for you to feel as positive as you can about what you are wearing for the shoot.So, putting aside the things you can’t change, like facial symmetry, if you have a photo shoot coming up, what gives you the best chance of getting photos you really like? The following are Jason’s tips: This also suggests that, despite real-life attractiveness, there is some immeasurable quality that may be unknown until the subject is in front of camera and, later, viewed in 2 dimensions. If you want to know if a person is photogenic, you generally need to photograph them and hence, in the movie industry, they do screen tests. In the end, both twins selected photos of the one whom everyone agreed was more photogenic (this story always makes me wish I had a ‘photogenic’ twin who could stand in for me in photos). The final photos reflected this difference and the whole office preferred the photos of the more relaxed twin. One was very shy and reluctant to have his photo taken whilst the other was more outgoing and relaxed about the shoot. He was unable, with the naked eye, to tell the twins apart. Jason tells the story of photographing identical twins in the studio for corporate profiles. Early morning and late afternoon light, when the sun is at a lower angle, is ideal for outdoor shoots and, when that isn’t available, we try to ‘replicate’ it with shade and scrim etc Taking pictures in warm, golden light tends to smooth out facial features and gives a healthy look that most people prefer for themselves. Taking pictures in bright, overhead light casts ugly shadows that highlight marks on the skin and makes the eyes look sunken. In terms of photographic skill, if composition and other fundamentals are important, good lighting is critical. Indeed, there are many people without the culturally accepted hallmarks of beauty, who are very photogenic, perhaps because of how their features translate in 2 dimensions, because they are confident, expressive and natural on set, because the location and lighting are good and because the photographer is skilful. Jason will be the first to tell you that there’s a difference between being beautiful and being photogenic. Oddly enough, most models have unusually strong features, and this allows the light to look more interesting and gives a more three dimensional illusion on a flat photograph. Slightly exaggerated facial features, including bone structure, lip shape, orbital lobes, brow shape, chin and jaw line shape are often rated favourably when photographed.Faces with focal points at these intersections tend to be more appealing. According to the rules of composition, if you take a picture and draw lines to divide it horizontally and vertically into thirds, the points where the lines meet, is a position where a focal element should be. ![]() This includes wide set eyes, a straight nose, high cheeks and full lips. As the camera captures a 2 dimensional image, features that ‘flatten’ well are typically considered favourably in photographs.
