  1. I always think putting on a song you like helps to get in a good mood and feel confident for any photoshoot. As a photographer, I get nervous when I’m on the other side of the camera, but this usually loosens me up. The timer is the buttton that looks like a clock with a dot at the top. I reccomend using that if possible. For your face, try looking in the camera as if there is someone in there looking at you and say “Hey its me” or something with a smile. keep your chin up, keep trying.

  3. Stand in front of a tree, let someone else take the picture, wear a nice clothes, make sure it is sunny but do not have the sun in the photo.

  4. the complex answer is – use lighting

    the easy answer is – get a good photographer to photograph you
