Prepare Your OOTDs Beforehand

First off, it is wise to plan ahead your outfit of the day or OOTD for the upcoming travel. Choose outfits from your closet that are suitable depending on the occasion and place you’re visiting. A basic example, if you’re going to a beach:
  1. Try to pack a comfy beach outfit such as bikinis (for women) and swimming trunks (for men). That way, you’re always picture ready.
  2. If your clothes are limited, you can opt in buying a new beach outfit which can be a wonderful addition to your collection!
  3. If you’re on a budget, try borrowing from your relatives or close friends.
  4. If there’s really nothing else you can do, try to look for an alternative outfit in your closet and experiment, mix and match outfits.
This goes for every situation! Wearing the right outfit can relatively boost your confidence and how you’re going to look in your pictures. It’s a great idea to complement your outfit with your vacation’s daily itinerary.   Woman On A Vacation With A Great Background For Travel Photo

Strike A Pose

“Say, cheese” is what people normally say before they take a photo. But you don’t have to show your glorious teeth all the time! And you can make it dramatic, as if you’re in a Hollywood movie. Sometimes, all you need is swag and unleash the model in you. Know your angles, maintain your body, and be confident! Angles. Some people have their favorable angles. It helps a lot to know which angle you look good at so that you pose better. Try to take pictures of yourself doing an angle and see which one looks better. And if you want a secondary opinion, tap someone who’s close to you for help. Mind your body posture. Your body posture matters a lot in life and in pictures. When you slouch, you will look awkward in your picture. Always remember to maintain a good grip and control of your body and your photo will look better in no time. Be confident. Showing confidence in public can be considered a hard feat to some people. But if you really want to get those great photos, then try to push yourself! If it helps, try to think about YOLO.
