MAX AGENCY – TIP TUESDAY
SELFIE TIPS AND TRICKS
Lighting- Use a direct light, natural light, soft light, backlight depending upon the lighting conditions. Your selfies will turn out extremely clear, vibrant and sharp.
Background- Always think before clicking a selfie. It’s not just about the foreground. Your background is as important as you. Make sure your background is clean and neat. This will ensure your selfie have a great composition altogether.
Angle your head- Try tilting your head a little and figure out what works best for you. You can also support the head with your hand, making it a classic pose. You cannot go wrong with it.
Keep your camera at a distance- Try this experiment: Click a selfie from your phone and position it at 30-50 cm away from your face and click another selfie at 15 cm away. You will notice that your facial features are more accurate when the camera is at a 30-50cm away from your face. Or use a selfie stick.
Crop to the rescue- You just clicked a great selfie but forgot about the messy background. Crop it in style.
Edit it right- Try editing it in a way that YOU still look like YOU.
Have fun- The coolest selfies are the one where you are having fun and look happy.
Tip Tuesday – Nail that Walk!
#TipTuesday is a series MAX Agency — one of the top Toronto talent agencies — does every week where we share helpful tips for the industry. This could be tips on auditions, bookings, beauty, fashion and more!
Whether you are in a haute couture assemble or vogue-ing in a living room, here are a few tips to get you on the road to your inner diva. Physical balance, inner confidence and a sparkling personality are all necessary to make a charming performance.
- Posture: Think tall. While walking, stand up straight leaning slightly back so your legs can go first. Keep your toes pointed forward, so they aren’t turned out. Then walk with one foot in front of the other as if walking on a tightrope.
- Hips: Most people think you need to do a lot of hip swaying. Your hips will move naturally so exaggeration isn’t necessary.
- Arms: Let your arms swing naturally. However, take care they are not too stiff or have big movement. The clothing you have on will help you decide what to do with your hands, you may need to hold something or stick one in a pocket.
- Attitude!: Be commanding and flirty. This will make you fun for the audience.
- Rhythm: Get into a rhythm and let the loud music be your uplifting motivation. When a natural bounce to the beat happens add to it by thinking about holding your head high and keeping your shoulders back.
- Eyes: You should never look down. Always look straight ahead at the cameras or pick a spot on the wall ahead of you so you won’t get distracted by anything else distracting around you.
- Posing: When you reach the end of the runway pause then lean on one hip with lots of attitude.
