I came across feelslikejapan’s thread “How do you take your photos” (excellent one btw :] ), and while I was surfing through it, I came up with a similar question that I thought would be interesting to add in—what are your favorite poses and backgrounds? Does it vary with the outfit? What expressions do you tend to use the most?
Personally I would feel really self-conscious posing in front of a camera in a public area, but tips are definitely appreciated. xD

I use a self timer, so I just do whatever, and it usually results in my face looking awkward.
I use whatever I can as a background. The weather is getting nicer, so I keep going outside, but sometimes I use a plain background available in my house as backdrop.
I do it at the city hall. Everyone passes and stares like I’m a crazy person running back and forth towards the camera. In my photos I just walk and try to capture that moment. My style is streetstyle so what better pose can I do other than actually walking like a normal person? Sometimes, I just stand naturally like how I stand at a bus stop for example – again, capturing that “in the moment” vibe.

I take mine in public places when I can. They’re just nicer that way.
Though I’m really self conscious so I have to ask my fiance to stop whenever we hear someone coming and pretend we’re taking photos of the landscape or something.

backyard,but i agree-anyplace else, like a park, or any other public place is much better!
