Can you tell a person’s personality from his photo pose?

When looking at photos, everyone likes to comment on the poses and expressions. Those who are careful will find that many people will assume similar poses regardless of the background. As everyone knows, in addition to the carefully studied POSE and the postures posed according to the photographer's instructions, these images can allude to your status and psychological state at that time.

1. Cross your arms over your chest: a defensive style of keeping away from strangers. Such people often have careers that have not yet started or have just started. They are hopeful and confident about the future, but they do not have a sense of certainty that everything is under control. This gesture suggests self-protection, encouragement, and support, rather than aggression. 2. Hands hanging down, slightly clenched fists or close to the seam of trousers, body stiff, back straight or slightly drawn in: cautious withdrawal type. Such people may not be confident in themselves, or may be afraid of being looked down upon by those around them. They always sit at the back and to the side during group activities, and only move closer to the center of attention unless called upon. This kind of person is very concerned about other people's opinions, but because of his introverted personality and likes to be alone, he often has difficulty communicating with others. 3. Either put your hands on your hips, or clasp your hands behind your back, straighten your belly, or put one hand on your hips and lean on an object with the other. In short, your chin is raised, your eyes are firm, and your feet are standing firmly: the kind of person who leads the country. This kind of person is usually in the prosperous period of his or her career, has a lot of experience in life, is full of confidence in himself or herself, and has a sense of control or control. The person taking pictures of him or her may be his or her subordinates or students or people who respect him or her. 4. Stretch your limbs and smile naturally: laughter is the release type of life. This kind of person may be very satisfied with the current situation at this time, or maybe he is extremely comfortable and can laugh off the ups and downs of life. 5. Not too expressive, but not tense in limbs or stiff in expression: a serious and cautious type. Such people may have a stable career and family, or they may be serious and cautious about their career and family.
