How to take your Photos
You'll want to take two photos - one front facing and one from behind. It's important that these NOT BE SELFIES. You can either have another person take the photo or set a timer and use a selfie stick/book etc. to prop the camera up. In order to get the best photo you'll want to do the following:
- Clean the lens with cloth before shooting (it always gets dirty)
- Face the camera - don't look up or down
- Focus the camera - make sure to have screen tapped to focus on you
- Get good lighting - usually morning or afternoon is best (remember you want to see your amazing results as best as you can!)
What to wear? This is up to you but ideally a sports bra and shorts/bathing suit bottom as this will show you all the definition you get in the legs. Leggings won't be as helpful to you.
