38 分钟Hello and welcome back to a series that I have here on anything goes called advice session, where you send in your current dilemmas or anything that you want advice on, and I give my unprofessional advice.
In honor of the Met Gala this week, I've decided to curate a special list of your current dilemmas that somehow relate to things that I have advice on, because I've learned weird things from attending red carpet events, from posing for photos, to putting together a flattering outfit, to socializing in high pressure situations.
I've weirdly learned a lot from attending red carpet events, and it'll allow me to provide you with some unprofessional advice.
So let's waste no time and get right into it.
Number one, somebody said, how do I pose for photos and not look awkward?
I always feel weird when taking a photo, and it's obvious in the picture.
Help.
I think there's a few things here.
Okay.
There are a few separate variables that impact the way that you feel when taking a photo, and I think that that is key to getting comfortable in front of the camera.
I want to tell a story really quickly about my first photo shoot.
Like, my first big campaign.
It was for Hollister swimsuits.
So it's, like, already scary because it's a campaign and I need to pose and look pretty in clothes, which is something I was not very familiar with.
But also, it was in bathing suits, so I'm half naked as well.
It was possibly the worst situation you could have for someone who's new to taking photos, especially in a professional sense.
Right.
It sort of reminds me of acting or singing.
When I think about the most challenging part about acting or singing, it's getting out of your own way.
There's something about our ego that gets threatened when we perform in some way, because performing is vulnerable.
