Avoid keeping arms flat against the torso; creating a "triangle" with your elbow can make the waist appear smaller.

move to the edge of your seat when sitting to extend your torso and avoid a "boxy" look.

Roll your shoulders back and down to elongate the neck.

use props like a handbag or beverage to give your hands a natural place to rest and add movement to the shot.

stand completely parallel to the camera; a slight 45-degree angle is usually more flattering for the silhouette.

Exaggerate the curve of the hips by leaning slightly to one side or rotating them forward for added volume.
