How to take beautiful photographs

Hi everybody! Photos and captions play an important part of our lives these days! And I am here today to teach you how to capture that perfect picture! Teehee!

The Foot Shot

Noticed an increasing trend of people doing The Foot Shot. I don’t know if it is for satisfying their foot fetish fans but I’d like to think that it gives us the excuse to caption: “Walking over to the COOLEST beach party in town!” When the truth of the matter is that it was just a lousy beach bar dotted with a few lonely souls.

There are other numerous ways of doing this. You’ve got the popular My-feet-is-in-the-sand, My-feet-is-in-the-water” or of course “I-can-see-my-feet-and-shadow” poses.

The Distracted Me

People like to call this the “candid” shot. But I say even candid shots needs to be posed. Yes the irony. Well, first you’ve gotta ask the photographer to take your photo. Then you proceed to looking away from the camera to do the I-am-not-looking, I-am-eating, I-am-busy-talking-on-the-phone, I-am-taking-pictures... The key here is to be natural people. See how these photos are so NATURAL?

The Me Love Drinking

The essensce here is to hold your favourite drink when photographing. It could be your favourite Chang beer, San Miguel… It is a very good prop for the “Oh I don’t know what to do with my hands days”.

"I love beer!"

The Pain Shot

Another trend spotting photography style is people taking photos of their bleeding wounds. Note to self, even if in great agony and bleeding all over your carpet, take a bloody picture before cleaning it up. No pun-intended. Teehee. Oh and please don’t forget the “OUCH!” or “Battle Scars!” or, or best “Cut my finger… pain, pain” captions.

"Blisters from flippers. Pain, pain...boohoo...sobz :("

The Pencil and Eraser Trick

If someone ever commented you looked like a whale, you could use this nifty trick, by NOT taking a photo with someone your OWN size. Tadah! You see, you don’t look HALF as bad now. No pun-intended again. Teehee.

"I'm feeling skinny today"

The Food

A quintessential in everybody’s album. It is to give people a head start on how your fart will smell.

The Bent Knee

It is very important that you bend your knee at a slight angle. Never stand straight or you’ll end up looking like you have razor burns in your butthole, ahem, I mean, not that I ever shaved my ass or anything... Lululu… See the difference? Razor burns, no razor burns.

The Hand

There could be many variations to this. At a 45, 90, 180 degree angle… or the favourite and most effective Hand-on-hip pose. If you are impish, you could try the Ruhua too.

The Tilted Head

Pretty straight-forward. But without doing the bent knee and hand-on-hip, you’ll end up looking awkward or like someone wacked you in the head with a bat. Not good.

"I think I sprained my neck"

Obviously my dearest friend H has mastered the art of taking wonderful photos. She nailed every trick in the book. The tilted head, the super bent knee and she brought it up a notch by placing her Hand-on-knee instead! Very clever. Well done my love!
