Want a great photo of yourself? Try these confidence-boosting poses
Briefly

Stephanie Yeboah discusses her journey from avoiding the camera as a teen to embracing her body and confidence as a model, stating, "I'm always going to be fat; I might as well use the opportunity while people are looking at me to serve looks." This reflects her shift in mindset towards body positivity and self-expression.
David Suh emphasizes the importance of connecting with your body during photoshoots: "The key is to connect back to your body and let your body language help you communicate." He believes that posing is a skill that can be learned and practiced.
Suh encourages individuals to think about their self-perception by choosing three words that describe the vibe they want to convey in photos. He states, "Who do I want to be? Have I been limited by my past experiences?" This exercise promotes deeper self-reflection.
To achieve balance in posing, Suh advises warm-up exercises such as standing at attention to help center oneself before taking a photo, acknowledging the discomfort of the pose, saying, "This military position is not comfortable, but it can help center your balance."
