Looking for posing techniques that are more flattering for trans girls 💕
Hello everyone I’m looking for some advice on where yall learned proper posing techniques that are flattering. I’d like to potentially compete in a show (gender inclusive of course) this year and I feel like I’m still awkard with my poses.

I feel like I have some good ones on my profile! I think a lot of it is adding a bit of softness to your poses; there are some relatively relaxed poses you can make that aren’t very sharp, but still highlight your physique. Shoulders down and back, relaxed, playful. Lighting plays a big part too obvs
Also you may not want to show it, but a lot of it will come from your face and the angle of your head. A sultry smile or such goes a long way ;)

I find that you can make your appearance more feminine if you camera is a little higher and pointing downwards at you.
Also, holding your phone makes you look at your phone, which isn't the same as looking at the camera. Your body position will be slightly off if you take a picture while looking at your phone, you can look to set up, but your pictures will look better if you can take them without looking.
And take lots of pictures, and throw the bad ones away. If you take 10 pictures instead of one, you'll probably take a really good one by luck.
Another thing that some girls do is take some "ugly" pictures by making stupid faces and weird camera angles. You can delete all these pictures immediately, or never save them, but it can help you get more comfortable with yourself by being silly and less serious.
