Transcript

my face looks so awkward in photos. I never know what to do with my face. Hear me out. You're going for a serious expression, you need to tense your temples. I know it sounds weird, but these muscles right here, you need to like flex them and slightly squint your eyes and part your lips and lower the chin. Number two, if you want to smile, do not smile on command. With this, you just look so stiff. So, you're going to exhale and you're going to go into the smile from a closed mouth. Like that. And make sure you also smile with your eyes. And if you don't feel like doing either of those, just look in different directions as if someone is calling your name. Niki, Niki, Niki, Niki. But don't worry, all of this will be so much easier to do with the Photogenik app which will be out very, very soon, so make sure you're on the waitlist. photogenik.app
