Many people mistakenly believe that the work of professional models consists only of being pretty and staring at the camera. However, when it comes to any picture good enough to grace magazine covers, much of the success depends on the models’ ability to pose and present themselves in the right way.

Problem: Tilting your head without lowering your shoulders looks unnatural. Crossing your arms turns your whole figure into a shapeless blur.Solution: When facing the camera, angle your body somewhat to the side. Put your arms down, and spread them slightly apart. This way, your neck will seem more slender and your body outlines will become clearly defined.
