"A classic pose that is great for defining the body and coming across as poised. Simply place your hand on your hip and relax your shoulders. You can try varying it up with asymmetrical hand placements to spice up your poses. Plus, you'll get that triangle shape the fashion world loves."

"To nail this look, place one foot in front of the other—slightly angled—and lean ever-so-slightly backward, pulling your shoulders down.

This pose will make you appear tall and slim, but still giving an S-curve illusion that photographs beautifully."
