When attending social events such as homecoming or prom, taking photos will definitely be a common activity. So if you do not want to look awful on photos, there are some things you need to consider especially if it's your first prom and you want to make things to be memorable.
Make sure your dress fits you well and comfortably.
Whatever gorgeous, stylish apparel from a Prom Dresses 2018 collection you will be wearing, always keep in mind that you shouldn't sacrifice your comfort. For one, wearing the wrong dress for your body type will definitely show on the photos. Also, your mood can be adversely affected when you're uncomfortable with what you're wearing. Moreover, your facial expressions will show on the pictures.
Practice your poses and discover your best angles.
Do this in front of your mirror weeks or days before the event. In this way, posing becomes natural to you whenever you are in front of the camera while ensuring that your best angles are caught. If possible, practice with your friends while wearing your dress and makeup.
Consider staying away from black dresses.
If possible, don't wear black during the event because they tend to cast shadows on your face and emphasize dark spots especially those under your eyes. If you must wear black, have your make-up done by a professional with experience in neutralizing shadows.
Scout for a great backdrop
These days, photobooths and photo walls are common in many party venues; but it does not mean you can't search for other places that will serve as your backdrop in your photos. Whether it's the gorgeous landscape outside the party area or a wall with a rustic look, bear in mind that the general color of the background should be in contrast with your dress if you want to stand out.
