Pretend you are stretching and stretch your arms upwards. For a more elongated look, make sure that your legs are bent and on different stair levels.

#2 Long legs pose

To look like you have model legs, sit at an angle and extend the leg closer to the camera a little longer than the other leg. Rest your arms on the steps behind you and make sure your head is slightly bent.

#3 Lean on the railing

For a relaxed pose, lean towards the railing and bend one leg. Put your elbow on the railing and tousle your hair with your other hand. Make sure to use the rule of V to look slimmer and to create an interesting photograph.

#4 Kneeling pose

Kneel on the leg facing the camera and rest your elbow on the leg that is propped up. Strike a pose with a bent arm and smile towards the camera for an interesting pose.

#5 Relaxed pose

The key is to not look at the camera! Make sure your legs are resting on different steps and keep your legs bent for a more interesting photograph.

#6 Railing shot

If you prefer to stand, this railing shot is for you. Angle the photo so that the railing constitutes 1/3 of the photo in a triangle and smile towards the camera. Make sure to push your face forward so that your double chin does not peek through!

#7 Through the railing shot
