Most people have enough creativity to pose nicely for the optics.Photos turn out okay.Then a model does a simple pose and you could swear she is an angel.Most of Kenyans' identity cards are ugly,truth be told.Somebody looks like they were from a bullfight.Many people want that perfect pose and sure enough you can have it.Take these simple steps and you can churn out a pose rivaling that of Americas Next Top Model.

Be confident:
To be confident means you have the personality of the elephant in the room.You know its you and nobody else.It means you can look into the camera and smile without flinching.To enhance your confidence,wear that outfit that bring out the godess in you.Tone down the bright colours with dull undertones.Accessorise cleverly to bring life to your outfit but remember less is more.

Bring out your best attributes:
If you have a long neck,flaunt it.If you are curvy show the world.If your smile can buy you a mansion,let them know.Photo sessions should be feel good sessions,do not forget that.
If it is a pose for your identity card or driving licence and the cameraman asks you to be serious,give him a serious but cute stance,not one like you are going to cut him with cold iron sheet!

Relax:
You are confident and have flaunted your assets,now relax.Make it look like the most natural thing you ever did.It should flow.Your eyes should communicate comfort.Straining only makes you look like a puppet!Do not fidget,stay still.

Communicate with the cameraman:
He is the one behind the lens.He sees how you look top to bottom,ask him how you look when you pose in a certain way.That way he will take your best shots only.

There you go.Now let the flashes roll...
