hey what's going on guys uh welcome back to the channel so today i have Ejon with me
hi guys my instagram is @ejonjohnson, @ejonjohnson definitely check her out and you're how tall
about 5 10. she's 5 10. so what i want to do today is i want to walk you guys through
some facial expressions and facial poses so you guys can do and this comes in handy when you're
doing your um fashion portraits you're doing that close-up shot it also comes in handy when
you're doing beauty photo shoots as well because it's all about the face the skin and all of that
so i want to walk you guys through a couple of expressions and poses so let's get to it
all right guys so when you're doing facial poses right there are pretty much four types of
expressions that you guys can do um the first type of expression i'm gonna call it um fierce right so
fierce to be fierce just think about like you know you're full of confidence
you know have that attitude and just kind of show that in your face and one thing you can do is to
kind of bite down and clench your jaws as much as possible and look directly to the camera
clench your jaw and then while you're holding this expression you can also
cheat your face towards the light source the light source is on
her left hand side and then keep your face there but eyes back to the camera
another thing you can do is to frame your face with your hands so think about doing something
like this you know but keeping it fierce like bold bossy tough attitude here we go so
the other expression you can do is sort of like um almost like a sultry um almost seductive like
you're seducing the camera and um you know this this type of look comes in handy when you're
wearing something that makes you feel bold and confident and seductive if you will so with this
it's more like squint you can squint your eyes you can part your lips open
as if you have a mint in your tongue and you're feeling like the the minty fresh breath
and then you can play with the positioning of your head
so move from like look towards the light source keep your face there put eyes back to the camera
you can tilt your head back up and look down you can look away you don't always have to look at the
camera bring it back to the camera and then just play with variations of that so you can look down
there we go so this is more of your sultry kind of facial expression and again another
thing you can do you can frame your face with your hands like john is doing in this picture
there we go if you have your hair down you can like pull your hair back and pose in that perfect
great boom another expression that you guys can do is the smize right the Tyra Banks smize
and for those of you guys that don't know how to smize here's how you smize so look directly to the
camera and give me a big smile hold that hold that facial expression hold your muscles tight
now close uh slowly close your lips keep it closed but eyes are still smiling
and just think happy thoughts so that's how you smile and this works for um commercial shoots
uh very well so again play around with it play around with your head positioning look
towards the light source chin up chin down face away eyes back to the camera
and one thing to keep in mind here as you guys can see um as Ejon is doing you want to be mindful of
your chin position because if your chin is too far down it may look like you have a double chin
so it's always great to keep your chin high and keep your face cheated towards a light source
and again you can always frame your face in that facial expression with your hands
as john is doing in this picture so these are some simple ways
that you guys can pose your face and get some different facial expressions
for your photo shoot so again let's quickly see that again give me a fierce look
frame it
looking away be fierce be tough chin up now give me a sultry look
perfect and now give me a smize
awesome so definitely practice this at home it takes a couple of practices to get it right um
but these are just some general guidelines again thank you Ejon i'm going to leave her
