Belle Mariano's Low-Key Summer Poses
1. As you take a morning stroll by the shore, look at the camera sideways and put one foot forward. The perfect way to flaunt your side profile!
2. If standing makes you feel self-conscious, you can always chill by a lounge chair instead. As Belle demonstrates, you can simply bring your knees to your chest and avert your gaze from the camera.
3. For a truly candid shot, ask your travel buddy to take a snap of you while walking. You can also take the photo from behind so you don’t have to worry about your facial expressions!
4. Not sure what to do with your hands? Play around with an item in your outfit, similar to how Belle rests a hand on her beach hat.
5. A classic laughing shot is a surefire way to garner double taps on Instagram. Don’t overthink it—the more natural, the better!
6. To highlight your latest OOTD, snap a full-body picture as you take a seat. This works even better if you’re posing in front of a picturesque backdrop!
7. You’re bound to enjoy the sights of nature during a well-deserved vacay, so why not take a photo while you’re at it? For example, Belle tucks a flower behind her ear and poses with a bush of colorful flowers.
