Posing for pictures may seem like an easy, no-brainer task, but it's actually quite difficult. There are a couple of things you need to take note of: the lighting, where you should place your hands; your background; and your outfit, among many others. This can make a lot of people feel shy and self-conscious, especially if they're not used to taking OOTDs.
A good way to pick up tips is to look through the Instagram accounts of your favorite celebs and influencers to see how they pose for the camera. Melizza Jimenez, who you might know from the show He's Into Her, is a good example of this. Aside from sporting the cutest 'fits, we noticed that she's also a pro at posing for the 'gram!
Check out how you can recreate the same vibe for your snaps below:
