Penelope Trunk recently twittered that she felt she looked “fat” and “structurally ugly” in a New York Times photo. First, not true; second, there are many people who feel they are simply not photogenic.

Hi Milena, I saw Penelope's tweet and instantly related as I'm sure most did. I have always been photo shy and manage to mostly avoid the camera. However, life is changing and photos are becoming more common. At least I now have a handy set of tips to help me feign confidence. Thanks for sharing your inside tricks with us.

And if you have glasses make sure to tilt them down a little to avoid glare over from the flash.
