What is generally the best way to smile in photos?

[Chris T]

In photos (ya know, school ones, relaxed) I usually smile with my mouth open a bit, but on facebook in most of my mates pictures they smile with there mouth closed and it looks pretty cool. I dunno, just a question coz I'm bored... Don't slaughter me.

Well if you're confident in your smilie, show teeth. If you don't like your teeth then that's usually when people close-mouth smile.

They're smiling with their mouths closed either because they're embarrassed to have strong feelings or they have bad teeth.

i smile with mouth closed just cos then its hard to look completly ridiculous, whereas if u have mouth open then its kinda risky incase you look mega cheesy. do whatever smile feels natural.

smile how you feel confident - i bet you they all think the same about YOUR smile. I HATE looking at others pics because they all look better than mine, but when I said this to them, I always got the response that they liked mine. no one likes there smile and no one likes their photo's

well ... i have taken plenty of photos for graduation and prom and after all of those photos all you can do is practice. take pictures of different smiles and what ever one you like then use it. i used to never show my teeth but it looks A lot better when you do

I think you should smile and then close your mouth that's my best answer try it out and then take a picture of you and then see how it looks livey
