Good advice. I'll have to try it. I hate photographs of myself.
Great suggestion Em! My mouth always freezes if I have to hold a smile too long. Just think happy thoughts...(I hate amateur photographers who make you wait and wait and wait...those are the worst pics.)
Professional pics are a whole other story.
Well said, Emily and John. Thank you for helping many actors and others with this advice. I help people pick hues to wear and styles that suit them. You've covered a whole area that's often not taught at all. I think everyone who is going to have a picture taken should see this video.
In addition to not hearing ourselves as we sound to others,it makes sense that we don't like the way we look to others at times---I've been feeling I look like the Titanic lately. I'll definitely try creating a "backstory" for myself the next time I'm being photographed!
