At today's shoot, I had an epiphany.
One of the team I was shooting really didn't want to smile. So I told her how smiling lifts the face and makes you look younger (something I have become intimately aware of since turning 40).
So I set out with my trusty pal Claude, to find some research on the subject. Turns out there's a tonne of it.
Smiling makes you look younger *science b***h*
Whether you want to or not, flash a grin in your next photos and see the difference.
Fuller cheeks, smoother jawline and an overall lifted look.
And while you're at it, book me to take that photo!
