2. Determine your best angle. Perhaps it is the angle that shows the unique natural hair part or hides that mole.
3. Look at the pictures of models as well as other photogenic people. When comfortable for your personality, experiment with mimicking their postures.

5. Get a professional "head shot" taken. The domain of aspiring Hollywood actresses, professional air brushed head shots are becoming common among online daters as well as many others.
