HOW TO LOOK GOOD IN PHOTO'S

This article appeared in Female First magazine in the UK :  HOW TO LOOK GOOD IN PHOTO'S by Lucy Moore When I tell people about my book,  How to Look Good in Photos , the first reaction I hear is “I really want to know how to look good in photos, I’m going to read your book!” This is really exciting as it almost feels like I had to write my book to help body and face conscious people.

I love seeing people share their passion for wearing vintage hats and scarfs. I enjoy selfies that proudly showcase the person’s amazing ability to create a Michelin Star dish. You already will have a unique style. I would add this to your selfies. It will give your online personally a more unique twist. Make your images count by making them unique to your individual style or lifestyle.” Check out my You tube
