One of the positive sayings that we have about smiles is that "Smiles are a glimpse of how wonderful that person can be as well in the inside". So, who wouldn't want to make their smiles better, ei? Usually when taking photos, the photographer ask the subjects to say "cheese!". Why is that? It is because it helps make the subject to project a great smile (again it only helps, it does not mean that if you say it you'll have a perfect one). But have you ever thought of more words to say to be able to produce one? So let's start the list..
Don't forget that when pronouncing these words, make sure to follow it through with your best smile.
1. Say "Smile!" - The classic.
(Recommended for formal themed shoots)
2. Say "Hi!" - Very simple but effective.
(Recommended for general themed shoots)
3. Say "Scream!" - This one came from the movie "Monster University", how cool when I tried saying it. You must prolong the smile when you reach saying the part of the word between the "e" and "a" then look at the mirror HAHA!(Recommended for fun and wacky themed shots)
4. Say "Gray!" - Odd but helps.
(Recommended for color lovers or kids)
5. Say "Cupcake!" - If you wonder where to sustain the smile here, its between the second "c" and "a".
(Recommended for food lovers or long photo shoots)
6. Say "Hey!" - Perfect to lighten-up the mood of everyone around and be funky for a bit.
(Recommended for casual themed shots)
7. Say "Baby!" - Who wouldn't smile saying this word right?
(Recommended for cute themed shoots)
There is one more thing you can try. Think of a person, item or concept that makes you happy and either say it aloud or just within your mind then try to smile genuinely. Genuine smiles are the best smiles to produce most of my friends say. Try it and let me know what you think.
Actually there are more to be added on the list, when I remember them I will. But do let me know if you have encountered more words to say on helping others to produce a great smile. Feel free to comment them below too.
