SMIZE: More Than Just Smiling April 19, 2011
EDUCATION
To smize, you must respect the smize.
• Coined by supermodel Tyra Banks
▸ 13th cycle of ANTM
• “Smiling with your eyes”
▸ Basically, if you can cover the rest of your face,
we can FEEL YOUR SOUL through your eyes.
▸ Look INTENSE, yet approachable
HISTORY OF THE SMIZE
BONUS LESSONS
“BOSSONS”
Turns out, there’s only 1 slide worth of Smize education.
• Why Steph?
• Some call me an “expert”…
HOW TO POSE: A BRIEF LESSON.
• Others call me VAIN.
▸ Btwn 03/2010 – 04/2011, I have over 1990 pictures of myself
▸ Not including those in Facebook
HOW TO POSE: A BRIEF LESSON.
HOW TO POSE: RULE 1 – BE VAIN, MAN
HOW TO POSE: LESSON 2 – MOVE THEM ARMS, GIRL
• This tragedy…taken so many victims.
• No one likes squished arms.
▸ So much fat.
• But srsly, don’t put your arms to your side.
▸ Have arms around friends
▸ Use props (e.g. the drink in your hand)
▸ Anything BUT flat on your side
HOW TO POSE: LESSON 2 – MOVE THEM ARMS, GIRL
▸ But you know how now ALL girls do the whole hand-on-their-waist & it’s kinda
annoying?
HOW TO POSE: LESSON 2 – MOVE THEM ARMS, GIRL
▸ Do it subtly to not make so annoying.
HOW TO POSE: RULE 3 – YOUR HANDS ARE YOUR FRANDS
• Look at your pictures. Do you like some more
than others?
▸ Probably because you’re facing one side versus
another.
• Look in a mirror
▸ What side do you like better?
▸ That’s your good side.
▸ I will go through great lengths to get to my
good side.
▸ Rearrange pictures
▸ NOT be facing my frands
▸ It doesn’t matter, I LOOK GOOD.
HOW TO POSE: RULE 4 – FIND YOUR GO-TO SIDE
• Lighting
▸ Natural is best (in the morning, an hour
before sunset). Noon / afternoon are the
worst (harsh shadows)
▸ Artificial lighting? Use your camera’s white
balance to change it or else you’ll be blue
or orange
▸ Dark lighting can be ROMANTIC & SEXY,
but make sure you have a steady hand or
use a tripod if not using flash. So much
blurry.
▸ Angles
▸ If you tilt your body slightly, you will look A
LOT thinner.
▸ Did you go on a diet? NO. You tilted your
body.
▸ Slightly angling your face will do the same
▸ Did your face go on a diet? NO. But maybe
it wouldn’t hurt.
HOW TO POSE: RULE 5 – ANGLES & LIGHTING
