Today I wanted to share a secret with you, my secret for not having a double chin in photographs. You know, when I know they’re happening and am not wrestling children still.
It’s not my secret, it’s one I stumbled across while perusing one of the several photography websites I frequent. And, despite the fact that it’s featured on a Photoshop Insider blog, it’s all about light and facial angles. So don’t panic if you don’t have Photoshop. Not needed.
It’s all about the Jaw from Peter Hurley on Vimeo.
It will feel weird, thrusting your face forward and pulling it slowly back a little. But trust me. It works. And after you’ve successfully done it a few times you’ll get a feel for just how much you need to extend and tilt to get that perfect face forward portait shot..of you!
Here’s my lame video of me demonstrating with my wibbly wobbly extra chins.
My love, you are so freaking cute.

You have to say that because we’re married.
I don’t *have* to say it because we’re married. It’s that I can get away with saying it because we’re married.
It’d be a bit weird if you were married to some other guy and I said that, no?

It would. You’d still say it.
I remember seeing an interview a hell of a long time ago with Beau Bridges talking about pushing his tongue against his bottom teeth to help prevent double chins while filming. mehe.

That doesn’t even make sense to me.
Hahaha! To move your lower jaw forward.

So you look like Igor, the gorilla man, with your lower jaw all thrust out past your upper? Crazy.
