Drop sultry poses

The dark feminine vibe is one that can carry off being spontaneous. Don’t make it too elaborate and architectural, as long as your hair and makeup is decent, acting naturally will work better. You want to make your presence felt from the photo.

It’s always good to have a couple of friends around you when you take pictures for your feed. They will make you relax into it better than anything.

Look away from the camera

Big part of the dark feminine aesthetic is looking slightly detached. That’s why looking away from the camera can really make that mood pop out.

You are communicating that you are just living your life, accidentally looking like femme fatale. But you have not set that all up like a scene to entertain anyone’s gaze.

Use props

The aesthetic is, deep down, about dropping the people pleaser and being unapologetic.

Part of that attitude is to be free to enjoy a glass of wine or a two-square of chocolate. Alone, dressed up - because why not.

Did that give you ideas?

Assert dominance

Full-body pictures of your fashion outfits will come off stronger and vampier when taken from closer to the ground. Don’t overdo it, asking your photographer to bend down a bit will do it.

Rihanna nailed it in her shoot for British Vogue, storming the iconic mag’s pages with her powerfully-posed stares. Even better, a half-up, half-down pose gives you extra edge.

Channel the nightwalker as you embody the trend, but know that confidence is key to doing it justice. Shoot your photos at night for the most powerful impact and dress in materials that will have a bit of a sheen in any candle or artificial lights that you might use.

Own your look, channel your inner femme fatale and accept no limits. Choose an outfit to complement your vampy persona. Flaunt a LBD (Little Black Dress) or slip into a stand-out satin dress from Tiger Mist to channel the sultry look. Either way, go bold and be unapologetic.
