Tip 3: Strike a pose! The best poses for your holiday photo

From showing your peachy derriere (yes, you read that correctly) to posing in front of a crazy pink wall. What are the best poses for your holiday photos? Steal the show with your holiday snapshots and quickly read what those absolute do's and don'ts are! 

A casual walk
You don't have to stand still for a great photo. Just walk back and forth and let the photographer (or your insta hubby) click. If a pose doesn't feel real, you'll see it immediately, so stroll through those summery alleys full of color. And yes, that can sometimes mean walking back and forth ten times before finding a photo you're happy with. But the result will be worth it.

Sippin' on a fancy cocktail
Posing with a spontaneous effect: that is the result of a photo with a fruity cocktail in your hand. Take a sip of your favorite summer drink  and you'll have that cool summer photo in no time. And does your cocktail look very photogenic? Then put it in the picture separately. You immediately have a nice shot for your photo album.

Hang in there
It's not that hard on vacation! You have certainly seen this pose: hanging on the edge of the swimming pool. For the ultimate summer feeling, a swimming pool photo belongs in your holiday gallery. Whether you smile or look away, this shot is easy to grab and can immediately be added to your holiday album on your smartphone. Easy does it!

State what you want
In your mind you can already see what the photo will look like, but unfortunately your lovely photographer isn’t clairvoyant. Be sure to specify what you do and don’t want to see. How will the photo be cropped? Do you want to be positioned in the middle of the photo or not? First take a photo of the composition yourself so that you can determine exactly the right crop. Then it is guaranteed to be a successful shot!

Subtle shadow
Trying to find sunlight for your photo sounds the most logical thing to do, but the shade of palm leaves, for example, makes your photo special. Make sure that if you look directly into the camera, the shadow falls charmingly across your face. No one wants huge shadows under their eyes.

Rise and shine!
You don't just have a beach, viewpoint or colorful wall entirely for yourself. Unfortunately, you’re not the only one who wants to capture those beautiful places. It’s a shame if you’re completely ready for your photo and another crowd of tourists starts walking through your shot. Yoo-hoo, I was here first! Avoid the frustration and head out early. You get the best of both worlds: immediately catch the most beautiful daylight and it’s also nice and quiet.

Now or never
Just do it! It can sometimes be quite awkward taking pictures in places where there are a lot of people. You will regret it more if you don’t take the photo than if you do. And definitely on holiday, as you’ll probably never see those people again!
