How To Take Amazing Photos At Home | A Model's Complete Guide (Posing, photo ideas, hacks)

[@pinkbunny3945]

Please make this a series!!! Like, how to pose outdoors, how to pose on the beach, how to pose while wearing winter clothes (like coats that are very big)... That would be very helpful!

[@animetwilight75]

i agree! we NEED this; i noticed people take less photos during winter time but i feel like you can still tempt to look good in a coat or lots of layering. We just need some guidance haha

[@kodakole2350]

pro trick: watch movies at kaldrostream. I've been using it for watching loads of movies these days.

[@lachlanderrick9165]

@Koda Kole Definitely, I've been watching on Flixzone} for since november myself :D

[@sarzbbz]

This is actually incredibly useful for photo-phobic people like me😅 thank you for sharing!!

[@Taylor_R]

So happy you found it useful! Thanks for watching ❤️

[@edwardmayalover]

I thought i was the only one😭

[@laurapalmerwalkswithme]

Same. I'm 27 and I've never studied my angles 😞 And most of times I dislike the way I look in pictures. Taylor always looks so good

[@prvotri8253]

Laura Riquelme Honestly for me I don’t think I look so bad in person but oh god when I take photos I look like goblin. Or maybe I’m like that in person haha I just don’t get how different I look on camera compared to mirror .

[@laurapalmerwalkswithme]

@@prvotri8253 probably we just don't know how to pose 😞 I've always struggled with it, it's hard! Hopefully these advises help us all do better in future pictures, and keep us from running away from the cameras, because I literally run away when someone tries to take a group photo or something lol So let's keep up and try our best ☺️

[@JoyceChengHK]

I like to take on different “characters” when i’m shooting. It helps if you’re a naturally shy person irl (like me *gasp*)

[@Taylor_R]

This is a really good tip!! ✨✨

[@soapytofu]

*gasps* 😲

[@fitnessa1]

GIRL you are talented at so many things! Even when you have fails you are talented at making us all laugh and smile ❤️☺️😂

[@Taylor_R]

Haha oh gosh! Thanks for being here 😘😘

[@blue_anime_cat2526]

Soooooo TRUE ❤❤🥰❤❤🥰

[@Diandra-]

@@Taylor_R Your charisma is captivating and your positivity allows honesty and honestly, its a talent.

[@SamElle]

yessss natural lighting is SO so much better than using studio lights!

[@Taylor_R]

Yea 😣😣 but then I see like Nikki Tutorials... I dunno how she does it, I can never get that kind of glowy pretty lighting. Natural sunlight is my best choice.. unless I figure out her method haha

[@VickyyTran]

Taylor R what computer program do u use for editing your videos dear?

[@NorthernBanshee]

@@Taylor_R have you seen Nikkie's studio tour where she shows her set up? I think it's in one of the videos from this year? She has a fully equipped studio, custom built by professionals with tons of REALLY expensive lights in it. The kind which are used in Hollywood productions, 5-15k a piece

[@monmon3681k]

That's what I was waiting for haha I'm helping my parents' with their jewelry shop. It's a very modest shop. My parents are old. Lockdown was rough for us. So I will try my best to reboost their business with a website and taking pics of the products on me or a model (a friend haha). Your video will hopefuly give me ideas and tips. Didn't watch it yet ✨😍

[@aksez2u]

That's a great idea - Good luck!

[@Unshavedd]

You should totally send us a link to your website!

[@ichliebebaeumeweilbaum]

I leave a comment in case you comment the link to the website :D

[@_SilentPhoenix_]

I just wanted to say that I really appreciate how you seem like such a genuine, nice and chill person in these videos. It doesn't feel fake or makes me feel uncomfortable because I'm not a super model like some other videos do. This was really helpful, thanks ^^

[@johannajonas6391]

This is the ONLY true style video I need for this season. It’s funny and I love all the styles you put together. Its all one can possibly need. It’s fashion and comedy. If fashi-edy wasn’t a thing before, Taylor just made it one.

[@_uaety]

omg I actually feel like I just paid for an in depth lesson on modelling, came out with so much knowledge

[@nataliabuhera7210]

To achieve something, only 1% talent is needed and the rest is hard work. You are very good at being persistent, especially if you want to get the best result 😁

[@rose191991]

im 30... not gonna be model ever...BUT love you and always will watch your vids no matter what is the topic... ♡

[@vickimaccallum]

Same! Don’t even have most of the social media anymore yet here I am 🤣

[@yensilpensil8733]

Models of all ages, shapes, and sizes are always needed! Sure some jobs won't be superstar glamorous, but they exist. Remember, there's more than just young people in this world.

[@krampuslikesoatmilk]

Turning the phone upside down has changed my full body pics forever and this is why you’re my fav

[@Obviousrose2678]

I’m rewatching this video in the morning before work to take notes 😅 this is SO HELPFUL and inspiring, thank you Taylor. I feel like you’re the big sister I never had helping guide me through life

[@MysticalVampire1]

i know you are down a little lately but I want you to know that you motivate and encourage me and make me happy with your videos just so much and I guess many others feel the same. Lots of love and positive vibes to you

[@AngelaBonanza]

I would love a part 2!! This is so helpful and I really like when you show how exactly you can pose to make your photos more interesting and flattering

[@BeccyBells]

I love how creative you are, it seems like you can make something extraordinary out of thin air. You really inspire me in every video, you're so intelligent, funny and strong, and of course insanely beautiful. Thank you for every single video you take the time to record, edit and upload!! ❤️

[@asuna2160]

That's amazing how complex and professional taking picture can be ! I'm amazed ! Thank you for lighting me up !

[@tarrynwalbrugh2101]

This couldn't have come at a better time! You are such an inspiration, a living embodiment of 'Just Do It!'. This vid was the nudge I needed to get started on my own platform. Keep on doing you! as its an inspiration to many!

[@lyfederer]

This is incredibly helpful for average photo-taker like me! Please make more videos on how to pose in different positions and settings (sitting, standing, group, etc/indoor, outdoor, beach, nature, etc). I always have an image in my head of how I want the photo to look but I can never recreate that mental image. Now I know it's because I'm not really doing the right things and posing in the right way. Please make more of this type :) Thank you!!!

[@luciussikilmituile97]

Thank you, this helped a lot. I liked that you coverd the basics very nicely, keeping the whole guide natural and simple. It really looks and feels doable.

[@rh1no-m3v]

The amount of times I took amazing photos but my face ruins it.

[@shelbycurtis8885]

I feel this.

[@krishtinamgr9166]

Mine too.

[@catleyva1471]

there are lots of pics that the model doesn't show her face to focus on the outfit or the view. you can still take good bomb photos even without showing your face also it's good to know your angles. hopefully this helps :))

[@MinPinSteve]

That’s my whole body, too. But, the goofy face definitely doesn’t help.

[@amy-gb5xq]

when you do videos like these where you give us tips, share your experiences etc it feels like you’re my older sister that just happens to live abroad or something hahah luv u taytay

[@samardraws]

Always the best Taylor! You can organize a subject and present it in an interesting, fun way. I love you!

[@ZukiTanuki]

Thank you for this video, genuinely helpful not just for modelling but for photography and composition in art generally.

[@miller9114]

Such a fantastic collection of ideas. Genuinely inspiring me to take more risks and get out the camera again!

[@lifeoflaury]

TAYLOR! You are such an inspiration! ❤️ Everything you do is inspiring, thought-provoking and absolute goals! You inspire me more than you know! Thank you ❤️

[@HanahS.]

Yes teach us everything oh wise one 🙌🏻

[@feelautumn]

Taylor, thanks for your sharing! I always love watching your videos which is about yourself coz your are genuine. I got encouraged and inspired by your videos. And I start thinking about pursuing my dream now... still terrified by self-doubt. However, I am intrigued by the possibility of realizing it. You are doing great! keep it up!

[@ilikalite]

Thank you! I'm not a model, but I learned a lot of useful tips. You're amazing, Taylor!

[@fuyuclare8550]

The music is so true! I did my first ever photo shoot last week and as soon as Ariana Grande's 7 Rings came on, I started doing all these different poses and felt so confident because of the vibe of the song 😂💖 I got a lot of inspiration for posing from you as well, so thank you! ❤❤

[@nyanniachan4963]

Omg I love all the advice I struggle so much with looking tense and weird in all pictures. These are amazing now I feel like I actually want an outfit pic for instagram ^^ Thanks Taylor you're great (and talented xp also can relate to breaking mirrors)

[@nekoneko644]

Perfect timing! I just did a self portrait photo shoot while dog sitting at a beautiful house and now I have a reference to take more photos today! I’ll compair them !

[@AerisArt]

c'm taylor you are really talented in so many things!!!!!!! and one of them is making us happy and smile!

[@joysiiposie]

taylor is so fun to watch and such an amazing person, honestly you're the youtuber that i wait to upload a video so i can watch it 💕 love from philippines

[@Taylor_R]

Thanks for the love 💕 stay safe!!

[@joysiiposie]

@@Taylor_R aww you and your family as well 🌺

[@therealsofianova]

Yes!!! I loved this and actually learned a lot so more of this content please!!! :)

[@Taylor_R]

Yay!! Ok ☺️👍

[@yara918]

Gosh I love her! She’s so real and such a amazing person! A beauty on the inside and out!

[@KatyAdelson]

Oh my goodness, you have given me so many ideas! I usually look pretty weird after trying to take a picture, but there would sometimes be a random picture that looked okay, and I never knew why lol. Turns out, I think I had accidentally done some of the tips you mentioned! The hands thing is especially important. So many times I forget about my hands, and they end up looking clenched or twisted in some weird way. I LOVE the mirror idea! I'm going to redo my website, but will need some new pretty photos -- I think I'm going to try using a mirror outside with my violin + some flowers.

[@ngoctranminh7968]

i like this video 'cause she didn't just give tips on taking a good selfie, she also gave us advice about being comfortable in our own skin

[@sarahhamza6098]

Please do more makeup tutorials. I like go back to your old videos and pause the video many times use to see how you do your makeup. You’re so talented and I’m so proud that your Canadian. I’m Canadian too!! From ON

[@readwithme7324]

Girl are you some kinda magnet😗. The more i watch your videos the more i get obsessed with you.❤️ Love ya❤️

[@beritbunny]

This was really fun! I love all the stills and clips your dropped on of yourself and others as examples-fun! 🥰

[@adelaine3915]

Modeling aside, your best talent is most definitely your fashion DIYs. Ahhh I miss them!

[@vickst0892]

Queen Tay Tay coming to save my social media anxiety-ridden self. You're so talented and such as inspiration, never doubt this please, Taylor.

[@international2112]

Thank you so much for posting this! I've been trying to make more fashion content on my Instagram but coming up with new ideas every time can be so hard. Your video really inspired me (it's like my moodboard haha) and I will try out some things you mentioned. Love you Tay

[@darkraven2116]

I loved this video! Fashion is definitely my creative outlet so I have quite the collection of clothes. Unfortunately, a lot of them aren't work appropriate so I'm not able to wear them. So, as you said in your video, I've started styling my clothes on the weekends just to take instagram photos. It's really fun and I feel like I'm getting use out of my clothes as well. So this video was perfect for me!

[@breezter]

I love this video! I am much better behind a camera than in front of one, but it's because I feel so awkward and have no idea what to do with my body. I'm excited to try these tips!

[@evaahhvj]

This is so helpful! Will definitely be using these tips, thank you. 😊💗

[@fatimaurquizorobalino9984]

You are a really stronger person. Not many of us can do what you do. Showing your life and personality to the world. Because sometimes people are mean

[@DrawingDay]

Hi tay-chan! Please show us more of your workout and eating routine, you're such an inspiration and you always bring new ideas to us! I love your videos ^^

[@Taylor_R]

Sure ☺️ I just filmed a What I Eat in A Day, it will come out soon.. but I have a weekly vlog first 😆💖

[@IvanaPerkovicOfficial]

Omg loved this so much! Thank you for sharing

[@manonwinry06]

It was so interesting !!! I don't make a lot of photo and don't try to innovate because I'm not sure about the result but with your advices, it seems now "easier" to take pretty good photo, it was really inspiring ^^ thank you

[@kandymcv]

I love all these tips! I’ve been collecting all the tips you’ve been sharing over IG the past few weeks and planning on referencing all those and now this video for products shot I’m taking this weekend for the Indie Beauty Brands I work with.

[@Taylor_R]

Amazing 🙌🏻 good luck! DM me if you need any help 💕

[@MinPinSteve]

I LOVE your sweater!

THIS IS SO HELPFUL!!! Thank you so much Taylor! ❤️

[@sarahfernandes1621]

Loveee the hair colour taylorrr!!

[@Misa.misato]

*"I like many things, I'm just not very good at doing them."* I felt that. 😔

[@reneelemay6417]

This is such a great video, you did this really good it was very easy to understand and I will be trying the tips out for sure when taking photos myself now. I liked it the most because I feel not just people on social media can follow these tips to get better photos. ❤🇨🇦

[@countessofalava6532]

This was truly, really helpful, I am just starting to model and I was thinking about taking creative pictures for Instagram as a starter pack, this truly made it easy for me and inspired me a looot, thank you so much!

[@lindalou7344]

What a beautifully done video! It was incredibly informative and just shows how down to earth and talented you are. Thanks for sharing

[@waldinabeltran582]

Don't ever say you're not talented... we all are... everyone has a unique way of doing things and some ppl are great in what they do... you do you're awesome 💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖

[@aprilblues]

Hi Taylor! I recently discovered your channel and I've been loving all your videos, you have an amazing personality and I love how you're so fun but still very elegant and classy. I hope to see more great videos from you! 💕

[@cmarie924]

Never thought I’d hear a model say “only wear things you’re comfortable in” 😂

[@acloudyspace]

I loved this!! Thank you Taylor

[@PurpleNala]

I would love more posing tips and maybe make up tricks too!

[@OneinAmelian]

Thanks for the inspiration, Taylor! Right in time for my photoshoot this weekend. 😊

[@thistimeisforreal9017]

So much great info that isn’t stuff you’ve heard a million times! Thank you! 😊

[@leileidahan9463]

Thank you so much for the modeling tips Taylor 🥰🥰🥰 i feel more confident knowing that I can take pictures myself 🤓

[@Kitty-lo1bx]

OMG the vowels are GENIUS!!! I am very excited to test that out. This is helpful bc I feel so awkward in front of the camera. wish i saw this before my wedding photos bc i was sooo super awkward and my face totally showed it.

[@pbj88]

I always wanted to be a model haha, I even moved to Tokyo when I was 17 :), but aghhhhh it was not well seen with my family, so I let it go... with this pandemic situation I have extra time to think, and ive been thinking a lot about it... Maybe I cant be a professional model anymore (im 31 now) buuuuut It would be great to have fun on instagram :)..

[@dw-oc7uj]

Thank you for these tips they’re really helpful! Especially the zoom out bc the close up camera really distorts the face you’re right!

[@camh2899]

You’re such a shining light!!! And soooo talented!!! This video is AWESOME 😎 THANKS SOOO MUCH!!!!

[@ellaharwood8909]

So inspiring and useful! My sister and I do little photoshoots all the time in the garden and around the house for her social media or my art projects as we are really close in age, about 18 months apart. I think during quarantine we might try and do some more photo shoots and maybe start a sister SM platform. Will definitely be showing her this video and using it as a guide to improving our photos!

[@joefaridahnur7586]

It's always lots of fun watching ur past experiments sewing, facial art, ...even ur singing...all very amusing & real like most of us...lol🤣🤣🤣 thx sharing today video...always nice to see ur positive attitude...n love see u modeling

[@ramblergirl1389]

The mirror outside is such a good idea I will try that one

[@dr0nzer]

I don’t know why but I always get super excited when I see a video from you lol. I don’t have this feeling with any other content creator.

[@bellaguasto]

I’m with everyone else! This was so helpful. You had so many unique tips that aren’t common knowledge but should be! Would love more modelling/photography content please, Tay! :) Esp with the new ToaT collection!!

[@kurosawa9857]

You’re literally beautifully stunning from every angle Taylor ♥️✨

[@lilac6257]

Besides you for sure have amazing talents, a music teacher once told our class, that it only makes up the first 5% to kickstart your learning Progress. What counts a lot more is hard work and you sure do that! Thanks for sharing the tips :3

[@jades1881]

TAAAAAYLOR!!! This hair is EVERYTHING!! I kept thinking I love this hair style on you!

[@clairenicole3346]

Definitely helpful for someone like me who has no idea how to pose for photos without looking awkward as hell hah! Thank youuuu 🖤

[@carpadiem21]

This gave me the guts to try a few selfies. Thanks for the confidence boost! ♥️♥️♥️

[@mmbelle]

this is actually very inspiring, you should do more like this, like behind the scenes....people like me have no idea lol

[@jennifers2555]

This is so interesting! My biggest problem aside from literally no overhead or window lighting that works, is I have so much beloved stuff (read: clutter and crap) all around that it always shows up in the background of my photos, ha!

[@alicebissonnet457]

Super interesting !! Thanks so much for all theses advices ! but this is so hard to put in practice in small appartments (no matter how organized I am, there is always clutter in the background and surrondings, no blank space or floor :((( 30 square meters is not that much) ) I'd love some advices about eye direction as well

[@Biimo6319]

Taylor you read my mind. Legit yesterday was thinking I really wanted to see a video about your photo taking tips. 😯 Thank you for the video ❤️ love watching your content 😊

[@letiziareis.]

Thank you for sharing your tips 💕 I am always very anxious in front of a camera but I am trying to learn

[@stasianova399]

Thank you so much for this!! So helpful and I hope to see more videos like this! ❤️ maybe even tips on making videos on KZbin/TikTok and how you gain your inspiration for those.

[@karolilie]

I think a cool video idea could be if you took us along for a planned shoot. Idk if you have time and/or energy to do a shoot just for the fun of it. But I think it could be quite fun if you brought us along for all the steps of a shoot, including the inspiration hunting and planning. Maybe if sets or props would need to be found or made, you would show how you would go about that. Say you pick a landscape photo and a fabric swatch in the beginning and then you must build a series of pictures from that? could be cool.

[@chiafairy7091]
