How to take a good photo for brunette girls at home

Hair color plays an important role in playing up the image of the model. After all, the viewer's attention should be focused on the girl's face and figure.

Choosing a background for a photo

The background either emphasizes the object on which the photo is emphasized, or plays a meaningful role, providing additional information about the model.

The background for brunettes is preferably light tones that contrast with the bright features of the owner of black shiny hair. The background is often in the same color scheme as the clothing.

The black color from behind absorbs part of the hair, the face seems to protrude from some kind of mystical space. An unusual atmosphere is created, either anxiety, or a rare play of the imagination.

The following genre solutions are possible:

• The image on the background of a bookcase or whatnot clearly indicates that this person loves to read, appreciates knowledge, and constantly expands his horizons.
• The framing of garlands made of artificial flowers or flower arrangements, which some housewives like to decorate the kitchen with, hints at the romance of nature.
• A photo in an apron surrounded by pots and kitchen utensils indicates a penchant for culinary experimentation.

Poses that emphasize the dignity of the figure

If you want to create a photo that will not make a girl less attractive than in life, you should adhere to the following principles:

• keep your posture straight;
• the curves of the spine should resemble the letter S;
• do not press your hands tightly to the body;
• in static positions, keep the knees shifted;
• take pictures of large feet only in front;
• position the arms asymmetrically;
• do not cover your neck with your chin;
• wide cheekbones and neck can be covered with a light touch of your fingers (train in front of a mirror in advance);
• do not raise your shoulders;
• stretch the top of the head up;
• pose in high-heeled shoes;
• hands should be relaxed;
• show the trained press from the side, facing the camera with the upper body.

A photo of a brunette at home is easy to make bright and memorable even in the interior of the kitchen. Since heels in this place will be inappropriate, you need to take pictures, standing on your toes.

A perfect body should be captured from different angles. Before the photo session, it is advisable to warm up your muscles and create a disco mood for yourself. This will help you achieve natural, flexible postures.

Poses for obese girls

Fat girls need to prepare especially carefully for shooting. The usual makeup in the photo is almost invisible. Therefore, bright colors will give the desired effect in the frame, focusing on the eyes. Dark clothing will play an important role in masking excess body parts.

Different lengths of trousers, blouses, scarves and shawls, beautiful closed shoes with high heels, contrasting colors and longitudinal stripes will make the figure attractive.

When photographing in full growth, fat people always stand half-turned towards the camera. All poses should be directed upward, belly and chin tucked up.

A photo of a brunette at home is based on the contrast of red and black, white and silver colors of clothes and accessories, which, combined with rich color, facial features and gorgeous hair, create an expressive image of a girl.

Selfie Ideas

Selfies help develop skill in the art of posing and body control. Gradually, a firm understanding arises of what perspective, the position of the body, limbs and head give the image a special charm.The most difficult thing is to manage facial expressions.

Photos are posted on social networks that the photographer himself likes.

Here are some ideas to make your shot attract viewers too:

• photograph part of the face or cover it partially with a soft toy, leaf, fan;
• enter the frame with an exotic animal, telling the story of the meeting with him;
• demonstrate intimacy with your beloved cat or dog;
• film yourself in an original reflective surface such as a scrubbed floor.

Photo with meaning

For people doing business in social networks, advertising their product or service becomes an important task. In such photos, a person is playing. The product being sold serves as an excellent genre content for a photo. The presence of the seller humanizes the product and emphasizes its consumer need.

Photo of a brunette at home sitting at a coffee table with books laid out on it, with readable covers, it can become the main picture for an online book store.

The seller of purebred puppies, lovingly holding them on his lap, stroking the mother-dog with his free hand, evokes the idea that babies develop good character from birth. The gym trainer, photographed behind the machine, awakens the desire to exercise.

A nanny surrounded by cheerful kids inspires confidence in her professionalism. For these reasons, maintaining commercial pages on social networks is so popular.

Portrait photo rules for avatars

A portrait happens:

• in full growth;
• waist-high;
• chest-deep;
• on the shoulders.

A portrait image focuses on trying to convey personality characteristics using all the photography tools. A glance directed into the lens indicates a willingness to enter into a dialogue, to maintain communication.

• When the head is tilted forward or to one side, the posture remains straight, the shoulders are divorced.
• To thin the waist and emphasize the grace of the lines, the body is bent with the letter S. For this, the body weight is transferred to one leg, one shoulder is raised, the head is retracted in the desired direction.
• If you throw your head back in full face, your face will come out round and flat.
• To avoid wrinkles on the neck, the chin is slightly raised.
• The figure appears more slender when the arms are extended upward. But such a pose requires a rationale.
• To get an open look, the chin is slightly raised, the head is slightly tilted to the side.
• Women after forty in full height are better off being photographed in a dress. This will add elegance to the look.
• A tight-fitting necklace is not worn around a short neck.
• Non-professional models are better off avoiding too close-ups.
• Emotions brighten up the shot, so don't hide them in a portrait photo.

A photo of a girl with a musical instrument in her hands against the background of any home interior, even in the kitchen or in the bathroom, will cause, if not all, then most of the page visitors a slight envy. A brunette at a white grand piano or a piano will simply become a hit on the social network.

A whimsical body curve, glamorous clothes, neckline, seductive openness of legs and arms will undoubtedly attract the attention of many representatives of the stronger sex. This style is called pin-up and has become widespread on social networks.
