The Photogenic Trick Kendall Jenner Uses in Every Picture

It's no secret that Kendall Jenner looks great, well, always. Her style certainly helps, as does the fact that she is a model who's well aware of how her poses translate in photographs. When it comes to the latter, she has a subtle yet statement-making photogenic trick that always helps her look flawless in front of the camera. We studied many photos of the It model to identify the common pose she nails every time. If you look closely, you'll notice she often tilts her head slightly to the right to frame her face and elongate her neck. Why does this work? Well, we tapped Getty Images photographer Steve Granitz (who has photographed the model several times) to get the scoop.

As Granitz explained, this trick will make you look slimmer and younger, and it will accentuate your jawline. Think about your angles—facing the camera straight-on is rarely flattering. Turning your head slightly to the right and lowering your chin gives your facial features depth. Why, you ask? Because this action gets rid of shadows, which can make your face look wider, larger, or slightly discolored. Instead, do what Jenner does—stand slightly sideways and tilt your chin a bit downward and a tad to one side—nd just like that, you'll be posing for the camera like a pro.

Keep scrolling to check out a variety of photos where Jenner practices her trick for how to look photogenic—and go a bit farther to shop pieces Jenner would love (that will enhance your photos even more).

Even when stepping outside for a street style moment, Jenner never forgets her pose. As for the outfit, her logo tee is a perfect contrast to a sophisticated fur jacket and trousers.

At the biggest fashion event of the year, the Met Gala, you'd better believe Jenner is employing her signature photogenic trick.

For an in-store event, Jenner added a slightly cocked hip along with her head tilt. We love the laid-back vibe of her graphic tee paired with the chain belt.

A hand on the hip is always a smart move to help define the waistline and give your hands something to do.

It's hard to know for sure, but it almost seems like Lagerfeld is employing the slight tilt away from camera too. Perhaps he picked up on Jenner's posing tip.
