If you love Instagram as much as we do, we understand how much it means to get the perfect photo every time. Though, we also get that it can get a bit awkward posing in front of the camera, especially if you’re not used to it or you’re just naturally shy. But don't let your shyness keep you from snapping the perfect pic for your 'gram!
A quick scroll through Faye Balogo's beautifully curated Instagram feed, you can already tell that she's quite mastered the art of posing without showing her face. If you're camera shy, then you can definitely learn a thing or two from her!
Instagram poses to try if you're shy, as seen on Faye Balogo:
1. Wear your mask! It's not only for your safety, but also serves as a cute accessory to your outfit to pull it all together.

2. Instead of your face, your hands can do the talking instead! Throw in a peace sign or hold out your hand.

3. Smell the flowers—it's a pretty addition to your photo while it simultaneously covers your face!
4. If you're feeling a little camera shy, then you can look to the side.

5. Wearing head accessories like sunglasses or hats is another great way to add spice to your whole outfit, as they are cute props if you're not ready to show your face.

6. Take a mirror selfie with your phone at just the right angle to cover your face. Make sure to show off your outfit, though!

7. Using your phone (or at least pretending to) is a cool, effortless pose that doesn't require you to look directly at the camera.

8. You can opt to not include your face entirely by highlighting the details of your outfit instead.
