Are you tired of your dull profile picture? Given the popularity of MySpace and Facebook, you should enhance your looks, so you can amaze your friends and attract more strangers. The best way to attract much wanted attention is to take pictures of yourself and turn them into portfolio-like albums, better yet, profile pictures. Camwhoring, silly as it may sound, is an art that every social networking account holder should learn. If you camwhore the right way, your next profile pic may attract the cutest strangers the online world has to offer.

The Downward Angle

Many people complain about having a fat face, chubby cheeks, or the dreaded double chin. You can eliminate all those unwanted details by raising your camera and taking pictures downwards. The camera angle makes your face look thinner and hides any trace of the double chin. Couple the downward angle with yellow lighting and a flattering facial angle then you’ll have a profile picture that may tickle the senses of people who come across your account.

Yellow Lighting

People use concealers to hide unwanted details on their face. In the world of camwhoring, you don’t need makeup to look good. Just go to a place with yellow lighting then camwhore away. Unlike the white light emitted by fluorescent/incandescent lamps, yellow light conceals the lines on your face, making you seem slimmer and younger. Even if you don’t apply the downward angle, yellow light instantly improves your looks. No wonder it is a staple in the sets of some reputable photographers.

The Facial Phase

Vanity is a characteristic you should bear if you are to find your most attractive facial angle. The slight side view usually comes out great in pictures, but some people have other angles that they can work with. Hairdo can influence your facial angle, which changes depending on the arrangement of your locks. To make the task easier, take pictures of yourself while you switch from one phase to another, including the changes in hairdo. You can compare each shot then see which facial phases make you look stellar. Once you find the right combination, your profile pic will look as dashing as a Hollywood celebrity’s.

Expression

The human face is quite an unpredictable feature. A slight twitch on your eyebrow or facial muscles changes your look, certainly influencing your appearance on cam. Expressions that often create good-looking photographs are, the smirk, the sultry look, the serious smoker look, the serious or in-awe look (while not looking at the camera), and the action shot with matching facial expression. Since people look different, you might find other expressions that reward you with flattering snapshots. Just spend some time in front of the mirror and shooting test photos with your camera.

A Seasoned Camwhore is often Appealing

Camwhoring is quite addictive once you master its concepts. Just like photography, you must find the right perspective, environment, and subject styling to produce appealing photographs. The main difference is, in photography, you can bag awards from respected photographers while in camwhoring, you may bag the cutest lads or lasses online as your dates.
