How to Walk in High Heels

Let me share a secret with you, shhhhh. Don't tell anyone else. 

It's the girls guide to EVERYTHING and it's called "How to Walk in High Heels".

This book tells you most everything you need to know. Pretentious, yes...So take it with a grain of salt. Most of this information is really useful. 

Here is an excerpt from the book, entitled, "How to look good in a photo" by Gisele Bundchen, Supermodel.

What should you do? Other than try and get an option on some super-trendy photographer?

Whether it's work or fun, the most crucial thing is lighting. If you get bad lighting, you are screwed. Know where the light is. You don't want it below you or above you, you want it to shine directly at you.

The key thing is no shadow. If you are being shot outside, do it in the morning or wait til the two o'clock shadow has passed. And also don't let pictures in magazines stress you out- all the pictures are taken by great photographers and all the faces have had pimples taken out by computer. Come on!

Tip your head and learn what angles work with your face; everyone is different so you have to learn what best suits you. You can practice in passport photo booths for as long as it is your turn, to learn  what angles suit your face. Tip your neck to elongate it, make eye contact with the camera. No one can look bad if they smile.

For long legs, point one leg into the center of the frame and get the photographer to shoot looking up your body. For just leg shots, lie upside down and raise legs in the air for the best angle, it thins ankles and shapes calves.

Keep shoulders back.

Always have mouth slightly open, enough to put a penny between your lips, as this will make your lips look fuller.

Tilt eyes down and look up just as the shutter is clicked for full eyes.

Delete any evidence of a less-than-perfect photogenic moment, everyone has off days.

Well, I hope this helps you out. This book will tell you everything on what to do if you meet the Queen (I'm sure that's gonna happen any second), to How to know which names to drop, to poaching an egg.

Go out and get this book. It only costs $24.95 and it will change your life, as much as a book can.
