Maybe an odd request but do you have any tips on how to photograph better? I'm an admittedly plain-faced girl but I've long known I photograph badly, my neutral resting face looks sad and when I smile it doesn't translate well on camera (I barely look like I am smiling in photos though it is more apparent irl). At some point I realized I photographed a lot better if I smirked. I'd rather not look smug in all my pictures but I haven't really found anything else that works. I honestly didn't think of much skill in modeling until I saw a video of Ming Xi being photographed and I noticed all the subtle movements in the way she posed her lips/eyes/etc and I realized there was an active component to being photogenic. I helped a friend on a shoot once and she directed me and I found that instruction was really helpful as she got a greater range of expression in the photos than I would have been able to achieve without guidance.
