it can be specific to body features common with being trans or just general photography technique in general, no matter how basic. example photos are ok, but we do not demand them. just thinking this would be a helpful thread to have !!
a tip of ours (for those femme-leaning at least):
having the camera from a more top-down perspective seems to make the jawline look a little nicer. this is true of most others in that they look skinnier, but it especially seems to bring out the femme look in our experience.
use your hands and pose up. standing like a brick makes ya look like a brick, have some fun with it!
if you can’t get a shot that your smile looks real try a few with different expressions, and come back to the smile. take a few pics to try and capture it, smiles can be hard to get right
I used to always do a forced smile for pictures. Dysphoria made it impossible to smile genuinely. Though I’m fine now, the forced smile is a difficult habit to break. Thanks for the advice I think it will help!
