From time to time, clients, friends and family alike
have asked for my number one tip to look better in photos. Every time I respond
with a very enthusiastic "Chicken Neck!".
If this has left you scratching your head and thinking
"Uh... sure Megan" don't worry, you are not alone, but after a quick
explanation I hope you will have a better understanding and see why I love it
so much.
As someone with a heavier face, I often have a double
chin in photos and like everyone else, I hate it! Chicken necking helps
eliminate this, and who doesn't love that?
To perform the chicken neck, you want to make sure you
are not slouching (as I often do), put your shoulders back, and then jut your
neck forward, as a chicken would peck the ground. Now, you just want to tilt
your chin down a wee bit; you don't want people seeing up your nose and because
you are chicken necking, you don't need to worry about the dreaded double chin
appearing.
Now, this doesn't look nice in a profile style
portrait, as you can see, but I wanted to make sure it was fully demonstrated.
In the chicken neck photo, my shoulders are back, and just my neck comes
forward, leaving my chin at either eye level, or slightly down.
It feels ridiculous to do, but chicken-necking really
helps shape your face, and slim it down without preforming any sort of editing
at all!
I hope this post has helped you understand my #1 tip!
