Learn how to pose like a model for an amazing model and a stunning actor Siddharth Kapilavayi.

It’s all in the angle, Siddharth says that it is important to place your camera at eye level. This way, you can capture your body showcasing that definition you have got and totally rock the pictures. The most important style element according to him is to be mindful of your proportions and plan your shoot according to your shoot location or background.

His personal style is wearing dhoti the South Indian way, no one can ever go wrong with an elegant and comfortable dhoti paired with an interesting shirt. You could also opt for a kurta for a more stylish look and redefine our traditional style. He suggests pairing them with Kolhapuris would spice up the whole look and bring it a new twist.

Find your right side, Siddharth says that the left is his side, what he means by that is he finds that the left side of his face has more chiseled and sharp features with the best definition, a stud in his left ear is like a cherry on top to his already good looks. You can find your right side too, just take a couple of pictures or look at yourself in the mirror and observe which side looks the best and try to capture pictures in that angle or be slightly inclined to that side.

More than anything, don’t forget to smile. Smile is so contagious, keep smiling and spread your sunshine smile all over. One of the best advice he has given us all is to just relax and smile because more than anything it is your soul that is shining and you can only capture that with a smile.
