I'm a hobby photographer who mainly shoots men. And majority of the men I've worked with model for fun so they lack experience. I had to guide them all the time. Sometimes it was frustrating. Your videos would really help them if they watch them. Thanks for making these videos!

[xebzrafique]

The most important thing "u must have a perfect face" 😂😂😂😂

[soareverix]

I've revisited this twice so I'll post the 8 tips for my future self (and maybe for other people who want to refresh this after watching the video):
1. Lighting: Stand in front of a window during the day to properly light all areas of your face
a. Outside photos: Take them with the sun at your back, or in the shade
2. Grooming and Style (not much to say, I guess this depends on the person)
3. Posture: If you have broader shoulders, set your shoulders back. It's best to tilt your shoulders towards the camera at a 45-degree angle, keep your chin slightly down. Basically, mess around with posture until you find something good.
4. Facial expression: There are a lot of different expressions that can work, serious vs smiling, etc. Put a lot of focus on the eyes.
5. Editing: Use apps like afterlight or facetune but don't use too much, since it has to look natural. Mostly, you should use editing if it looks different on the phone then it does in real life.
6. Timing: If someone else is taking the picture, ask for them to count it down. Don't get startled or tired waiting for a photo.
7. Background: Choose a background that fits your style, like a corporate background if you're wearing a suit, etc. Sometimes you want an interesting background that shows your personality, so it doesn't look boring or fake.
8. Be Natural: Not a lot to say. Basically, act like you normally would, be casual, and don't try to force anything.

Final tips: Take fewer selfies, try to include good scenes of the environment and photos with others. It'll make you look like you have a life (even if you don't, lol) and that's always a good thing.

Take care and enjoy!

This guy seems like a genuine nice guy.

[CE-qyhr]

A genuine tips from a real male model. And actually the one that really useful and insightful. Thanks Daniel

[Dylan-dsfp]

I'm not a model, but as a new photographer this video is super useful to see how the people on the other side of the camera think about these things! Thanks for sharing!

[Cheezfuz]

yes!! love it. you make it look so easy, very natural, and not intimidating. a lot of the lifestyle vloggers have cool content but aren't that relatable as people. you've changed the game! if you create the game, you create the rules. and you're winning. your humble spirit comes across very clearly, you're blessed!

[Markus]

I'd like to say that I now realize top modeling is a very refined kind of "gesture and expression acting" and the very best, like you, make it LOOK easy. You're not just another pretty face. :) Thanks for tips, man.

[samwinchester]

Hi Daniel, I don't watch fashion videos, and I am not a photographer or a model. However, I did a search yesterday on how to walk confidently and found your other video and now this video. There are a lot of helpful tips in your videos for men in general on how to groom and look confident, even if not for the purpose of modeling or selfies. And you come out as a very authentic and genuine person, with no drama; just plain, simple, highly useful, and to the point videos.

1. have good genetics
2. become a model
3. pose!

...says 26 years of research

[TheLondonForever]

What you're saying is absolutely true. When I modelled many years ago we all had to be chiseled in our appearance and we had to be very toned. The quarters of my time was spent keeping in shape.

Now, as a photographer, I can see the other side of things. Great video, it's nice to see how the industry is today.

[Jonathan-xgqq]

i appreciated the tips for skinnier (smaller) guys on how to pose and am actually surprised to hear that there's more poses for them in terms of photos!

[MaxSebastianMayer]

Being happy never gets out of style, that’s well said (:

[kpadmanabhan]

You are just FABULOUS and so

[sankalptiwari]

You are a far more better blogger then other fashion experts, really good advices . Your experience in the field of modeling makes you videos look real mature

[aroy]

He is very polite and it makes him attractive

[Subhumanoid_]

Finally - good advice anyone can use!!
I tried all of his poses and tricks and now I know it's not the pose or the camera. My issues are a bit more "fundamental"...

[Saiyanryu]

6:21 Haters will say it's photoshopped.
