But don’t blow your shot at an epic shoot during your next photo booth experience with these tips from Jessie Whitfield of MISGIF, an award-winning experiential marketing agency that specializes in shareable and social photo, GIF and video experiences. Play up your best angles. A quick trick to achieving a more relaxed look is pushing your shoulders down. Elongating your neck will also give you a more slender appearance and sharper jawline. Like most things, when it comes to props, less is more. Be strategic and pick one or two props that complement your outfit or one really wild prop that stands out. Prop it like it's hot, and get creative with poses! Wear a top with a flattering neckline. Adding a statement necklace or earrings is a great way to show off your style. When posing with large groups, avoid looking awkward and uncomfortable by standing shoulder to shoulder. Don't be afraid to put your arm around someone or lean into them a little. Avoid cliché poses. Smile like you mean it, and experiment with funny facial expressions that communicate emotion. Your followers will appreciate your authenticity and playfulness. A few pro tips from our friends at The Sparkle Bar are to wear a blue-based red lipstick like Armani 400, which will make your smile whiter and brighter. Also, touch up your under-eye makeup to eliminate creases, and use your palm or blotting paper to decrease forehead shine. To Learn More MISGIF makemisgif.com.
