HOW TO SMILE NATURALLY FOR PHOTOS

Saying 'CHEESE" results in a cheesy smile and nobody wants a cheesy smile. So, the most important tip I can give you is NOT say "CHEESE"!

Who on earth came up with the utterly ridiculous idea of getting people to say “Cheese” as a way to cajole a natural smile for a photo? It is completely insane! When someone says “Cheese,” the mouth stretches unnaturally and it is not a flattering look for a photograph. 

Tips for Smiling in Photos

Next time you find yourself in front of a camera posing for a "smile photo" and the photograph has the personality of a boiled cabbage and is not telling any jokes, then try a few of these tips:

1. Instead of saying "cheese", say words that end in the ‘uh’ sound. Words such as ‘yoga’ or ‘mocha’ or 'grandpa'. These words will stretch the mouth into a more natural looking smile shape.

2. Try and laugh while the photo is being taken by thinking of a funny incident. This will help to capture a natural smile in the photo.

3. Lift the tip of the tongue up behind your front teeth. It will lift the face into a natural smiling position. Also, try to smile with your eyes as well, which adds a more genuine and warm look to the photo.

4. Relax your face first and then smile. A useful trick is to close your eyes, then on the count of three, open them and smile like you just saw an old friend.

5. Combine all the above steps to always get a perfect natural smile in a photo.
