Angle your torso roughly 30–45 degrees off the camera to create depth and a slimming silhouette; this slight turn defines the waist and adds shape without looking posed
Shift your weight onto the back foot so the hips sit slightly back; this straightens the spine, produces a relaxed stance and prevents a flat, stiff posture
Place a hand in the pocket with the palm turned so the narrow blade faces the camera; giving the hand a job avoids a flattened, oversized look and keeps the shoulder relaxed
Push the chin a touch forward and lower it slightly to define the jawline and eliminate the appearance of a double chin; this small move sharpens facial contours on camera
Direct your gaze to a specific off-camera point rather than trying to 'look natural'; focusing on a fixed target produces a more genuine, confident expression and reduces awkwardness
