Even on bright days, flash can put a sparkle in the eyes and brighten up a face!As humans, we're all drawn to big eyes (it's why the Panda is so well loved)! For this it's always a good idea to be looking UP at the camera. For this reason, it's a great idea to use a little bit of flash when taking a picture. Try it in the mirror a few times and you'll be ready next time a friend wants to grab a snap.The eyes are the window to the soul, and when we look at photos we are drawn to them in others. The best way to avoid this and look fantastic is to push your whole head forward (like a turtle) then slightly tuck your chin down and finally a tiny tilt of the head (to the side for girls, to the front for boys). Some people think they're unphotogenic or become anxious at the very idea of facing a camera as they've had unflattering shots taken before and assume they can't look great in a a photograph.While there may be no substitute for the results that can be acheived in a studio with professional lighting, it IS possible for anyone to look good in their pictures!Let's take a look at some of the techniques professional models use when posing as well as some of the common mistakes anyone can make when suddenly faced with a camera.My top tip for great headshots or head and shoulder portraits is to remember what I like to call the 3Ts - Turtle, Tuck and Tilt! Often, people who feel a little nervous about getting their photo taken will pull their head back and thus create the dreaded double chin effect.

By appointment only. Just a bit, but enough to show the bottom of the whites of your eyes.
