Why do some stars need tons of filters, but you can’t take your eyes off others’ photos, even if they’re posted without any frills? What traits must you have to become a favorite of the cameras?
KP.RU directed these questions to famous fashion photographer Kristina Voiloshnikova.
-I can call Priyanka Chopra one of the most photogenic actresses. Her luxurious appearance brought the Indian diva fame and recognition around the world, says Kristina Voiloshnikova: “Priyanka’s appearance is not typical of the traditional beauty standards of her homeland. She is majestic, slender, with luxurious silky hair and the wet shine of huge brown eyes. All these advantages of hers ensured her the title of “Miss World 2000”. But even among our celebrities there are those who are good without Photoshop.

Dima Bilan
-Dima is the camera’s favorite. After all, even in random shots that took Dima by surprise, he looks great,” says photographer Voiloshnikova. -An important component of her successful photographs is her excellent posture, which makes her silhouette tight and elongated, and her intelligent face. When mom says “Don’t slouch!”, you have to listen to her if you want to look great in the photo.

Ekaterina Klimova
-It is impossible to believe that one of the most beautiful actresses in Russian cinema is over 40 years old. And she is a mother of four children! In any photo, Ekaterina looks fresh, fit and bright. Her secret is naturalness, openness and a positive attitude towards life, which makes each of her portraits warm and welcoming. The contrast of her elegant dark hair and her dark skin (heritage of gypsy blood) with light, radiant eyes gives the actress a special charm.

Yulia Peresild
-It is not surprising that Yulia was chosen to become the first actress in the world to participate in a filming in space. What makes her so attractive? Of course, the point is the smile that never leaves the actress’s face. Even in serious or relaxed portraits, the corners of Yulia’s lips are always slightly raised, making it look like she is happy and in a good mood.
Ivan Yankovsky
-It is not in vain that this representative of the third generation of a famous creative dynasty is expected to become the most promising Russian actor of our time. After all, the camera simply loves him. The secret is Ivan’s brilliant charisma with a slight touch of rebel and “bad”. Disheveled hair, asymmetrical nose, a little unkempt without shave – all this suits him, our expert believes.

5 traits that photogenic people have
Smile
-The Hadid sisters, Irina Shayk, Kendall Jenner: all these camera favorites are united by a radiant smile. It doesn’t matter if she is playful, reserved or mysterious; The main thing is that her smile is natural and sincere. After all, nothing attracts attention and refreshes an image like dimples in the cheeks, white teeth and a demonstration of happiness and serenity, says our expert, founder of the AVGUST brand Kristina Voiloshnikova.
Position
-Plasticity and good posture will make any portrait more attractive. With the correct position of the neck, head and shoulders, the oval of the face is toned, the cheekbones are more expressive, and wrinkles seem to be smoothed out. Therefore, a straight back and a proudly raised head are an important component of photogenicity.
Charisma
-The camera definitely loves those who exude self-confidence and are not shy to show off their unique style. This attitude attracts the audience towards the model. You don’t need to have the extravagant charisma of Madonna or the playful modesty of Audrey Hepburn. The main thing is to show your character, whatever it may be.
Naturalness
– The most photogenic stars know how to maintain naturalness and authenticity. They don’t act pretentious in front of the camera. They remain themselves and enjoy the moment.
Style
-Good taste in clothing and the ability to select suitable images for filming also play an important role. Photogenic artists have an impeccable sense of style and know how to highlight their personality in photographs.
