Find what angle you look best!. I normally tilt and turn my head to the side a little, or if I look straight I point my head down a little!. You can edit pictures with lots of programs!. I like PhotoFiltre!. Just look for programs to download and experiment and learn how to use them!. Uh, maybe you should watch the Tyra Banks show, too!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

if you have a zoom on your camera then shoot with tht ezoom at the long end not the wide end - that will save you having a hugh face, also have the camera about 2 yards/meters from your face,

light is the key to most images so use a desk lamp or something in a dark room and maybe use some white carboard as a reflector also

most great images are made not taken, so plan or "workbook" the images you want

hope that helps!?Www@QuestionHome@Com
