Dear gentlemen, I am sure you would like to know how can you look more elegant on photos? More confident? More formal and professional? I found six different pose to guide you with the best tips for you to know to do the photo reflecting your personality.

For a business / formal photo

The face expression

Relax your facial muscles it will help to have a neutral expression to look younger. Frown slowly your eyebrows to express a serious attitude. You can also take a serious and powerful look to give you assurance. Do a light smile or don’t smile at all, it helps to look serious on pictures.

What to do with your hands

Here is one essential rule for the business picture: DO NOT HAVE HANDS IN POCKET. You can cross your arms, or even let them naturally along your body.

The body posture

1st Posture

Cross your legs at the knees level, keep your feet at a 25°. On the photo bellow, the man on the right have a good arms and legs posture but you should look straight in the camera for an impressive and confident attitude. About the man on the left, his posture is too casual but we can admit he is well straight sited.

2nd Posture

Put weight on a desk or something similar. Try to open a little your legs for a friendlier posture, but keep them together for a formal picture. Hold your hands together or put them on the support behind you to emphasize the power of the photo.

Alternative of the business / formal photo

1st Posture

Put the calf of one leg onto the tight of the other. Here is an advice for lengthen your legs: place your legs further than the line of your knees. Tale a natural but concentrated look straight upon the camera. Having hands on each side of the seat will give the right balance of the picture. Try to avoid laying in the seat as we can see on the photo bellow, it shows a casual appearance.

2nd Posture

Cross your legs at the shin level and put your weigh on the back leg. Cross your arms to emphasize their strength impression. Have the chin a little bit down and an intense and strict look to be more confident.

Arms crossed on chest with shoulders a bit down, you can also have one hand in the pocket.
