What's the Best Angle for Photos?

Here at NVE Agency, we know that a great photo can make all the difference in your modeling career—and finding your best angle is the first step to getting that perfect shot. Every model is unique, and the right angle can highlight your strongest features while telling a story through the image.

Here are 5 simple tips to help you find your best angle:

1. Know Your Face Shape

Whether you have a round, oval, square, or heart-shaped face, understanding your features helps you know which angles work best. Slightly tilting your head can add definition and balance to your look.

2. Find Your "Good Side"

Most people naturally have one side of their face that photographs better. Practice in the mirror or during test shoots to figure out which side gives you more confidence—and use it in your photos.

3. Use Natural Light to Your Advantage

The best angle often works hand-in-hand with the best lighting. Position yourself so light falls softly on your face, avoiding harsh shadows. Morning or late afternoon light is especially flattering.

4. Play with Camera Heights

Shooting from slightly above eye level can make your eyes look bigger and your jawline sharper, while a lower angle can add height and drama. Try different positions to see what fits the mood of the photo.

5. Practice with Different Poses

Angles aren’t just about your face—your body positioning matters too. Slight shifts in your shoulders, hips, and stance can completely change the vibe of the shot. Practice in front of a mirror or with a photographer to find your signature pose.

Finding your best angle is a mix of self-awareness, practice, and confidence. The more you experiment, the more natural it will feel in front of the camera—and the better your photos will look.
