Tilt your body so that only a side view of your face is showing. You can face your back towards the camera and turn back to reveal a portion of your face too. Stare into space, the scenery or the sky for a real candid look!

For those who are super shy, act like you are taking a photo with the camera blocking a portion of your face. It looks natural and really good at the same time!
