Squinching: It Makes You Photogenic Thus Taking Selfie To The Next Level

Selfie has been tagged as Oxford Dictionary's word of the year because of the influence of social media mainly by Instagram. Generation of today loves taking photo by themselves with the help of smartphone's camera then eventually upload it to facefook, instagram and other forms of social media. Friends who are regularly do it are sometimes annoying because of repetitive images you see in your news feed making it spammy. Another reason perhaps is the not so-good shot or less photogenic image. Admit it, when one our friends or shall we say your crush has been posted photo, we feel tolerant and love to see it many times even though the picture is not in perfect angle but as long as he is photogenic. How about those who are not? Don't Worry!

Be Photogenic

Eyes reflect our emotions and have a great effect in facial expression, so Peter Hurley, a professional portrait photographer, focus to this on how to capture a photo of someone to look photogenic in an instant -- squinching. When you squinch, you're lifting and tightening your lower eyelid and allowing your upper eyelid to come down slightly. By this way, your eyes are giving an oozing effect of confidence and self-assurance as contrast to wide-eyed staring to a camera which portrays fear and uncertainty. See the images below to see the difference after squinching.

So, try practicing this in front of a mirror until you become expert to this. And by that time, you are confident enough to show to your social media world about your good looking pictures and doesn't feel any shy in doing selfie.
