I went out last night with a group of 5 girls and had the idea in my head if I got a few photos with these girls and post them on facebook.

the problem was 'athough drunk' in every photo I just looked retarded and very unphotogenic, they were just horrible. Im looking for some tips on how to pose like I see alot of guys do the expresionless, staunch face, a few smile, everyone seems to do handsigns and a tounge out somewhere

Im lost on what to try to portray

Im in the same boat man, i am not photogenic at all. What ive tried to do, just stand infront of a mirror, n find out what angle u look the best from, and try and get ur self into that orientation every time.

Don't pose for photos.

If you absolutely must take a photo, tilt your chin down. This eliminates any unflattering double-chin.
Stand tall, with your shoulders back.
If you're bending down to get on the same level as the ladies, lean forward, this will make your shoulders look broader in comparison with your waist, which is the ideal body-shape for a man. But don't hunch. Keep your back straight.
Don't mean mug the camera.
But don't do some goofy smile either.
Just be natural.

And if you're standing with a girl, put your arm around her shoulder, not her waist. Around the waist feels like something an uncle would do in a family photo. The shoulder puts you a level above her.

Watch some stand up comedians, whenever your taking a photo just remember one of the funny stories/jokes and you'll get a natural smile, simple...effective.

I would suggest the same, + find an expression that you really like and you have fun doing it, like for me I take my tongue out, I dunno why I do it, but it is fun!

Dude that's like saying "be yourself"...mmmm, common response: "well being myself haven't gotten me laid yet"

Same here, he is being natural and he doesn't like how he comes across so he is asking for advice!

The best pictures are spontaneous pictures. You have to come across as realy natural on the picture.

You can do this by getting photographed by surprise, but you can also do it by posing following these rules:

- HAVE A STORY ON YOUR FACE: People should read on your picture a story, like you're having fun, like you're the AMOG, like a mysterious guy, like you're about to do something realy dirty, or by doing something very passionate and concentrated, or by showing strong emotions like anger, hapinnes, intimacy, sadness. Poeple should be able to read what kind of person you are. Therefor, YOU SHOULD NEVER BE EMOTIONLESS ON A PICTURE

- HAVE A GOOD VIBE: if you're having a lot of fun, you laughed a lot and you had great conversations, game, fun, whatever, it will give you this strong "fun"emotion. If anyone then suddenly wants to take a picture of you, you will come off as very natural. Perfect for party pictures.

- SOMETIMES IGNORE THE CAMERA: if you are talking to a group, or if you're dancing, don't stop always to pose on the camera. Just ignore it, don't try to think of it and continue what you were doing. Don't look at it. Pretend as if there is noone taking a picture of you. This will come off as very natural.

- HAVE A STRONG FRAME: if you are posing and you have to look mysterious on a picture, change your frame to "i am a mysterious guy". If your frame is strong enough, you will almost believe it yourself, and thus your body language will change to that of a mysterious guy.

- DON'T LOOK ALWAYS RIGHT IN THE CAMERA: instead, look slightly to right or the left of the camera. If you are dancing then look to your partner. If you are enjoying a beer or a cocktail then look at your drink.

I just posed halfnaked in a fetish shop with a hot girl and a plush toy model of herpes... that took some posing...

Just have fun and enjoy and the pictures will be great.

I used to have a smily face and a serious face. My serious face looked better but not happier.

Stand up straight, take up a lot of space, interact with the people in the picture.
