How to take Glamour Selfies That Turn Heads: The Ultimate Fitness & Glamour Edition
In the era of Instagram and TikTok, your photo is your introduction. Whether you're a fitness influencer, content creator, or just feeling your glow, a perfect glamour selfie can tell the world everything it needs to know—confidence, style, strength, and sass.
At Gym and Glamour Photography, we shoot some of Sydney’s most powerful and elegant women—from beachside poses in Bondi to sleek gym looks in Surry Hills. This guide gives you everything you need to shoot that unforgettable selfie—whether it’s for your next post or your personal branding journey.
1. Confidence Comes Before the Click
Before you think angles, think mindset. The sexiest, strongest, and most striking photos begin with how you feel.
Pro tip: Set the vibe. Are you going for strong and powerful? Soft and sensual? Playful and flirty? Let that energy shine through your eyes and posture.
Follow us on Instagram to see how our clients rock it with confidence.
2. Get Lit: Mastering the Glow
Lighting is everything.
Natural light wins—use windows, open shade, or golden hour.
Avoid harsh gym downlights that flatten features.
Ring lights or soft boxes? Your best friends indoors.
Bonus: See how we use light to sculpt and soften in every shoot on our portfolio.
3. Posing Power: Show Your Best Side
Angles matter. You want flattering, not forced.
Try a side booty pop with a soft glance back
Flex abs while sitting (great for compression and shape)
Mirror selfies? Slight twist at the waist and shoulder drop
One arm up behind the head = instant lengthening effect

4. Dress to Slay – What to Wear for Fitness Glam
Your outfit is the frame. Choose:
High-waisted leggings for waist definition
Bold colours that contrast your background
Fitted, contour-lined activewear or sleek bodysuits
Not sure? Our team offers pre-shoot styling support based on your vibe.
5. Frame the Fame: Composition Hacks
You don’t need a $5k camera to shoot like a queen. Here’s how:
Use your rear phone camera for clarity
Rule of thirds: keep yourself off-centre
Eye level or just above for a lifted look
Use portrait mode to get that juicy background blur

6. Light Touch Editing: Keep It Real, Not Robotic
Editing is polishing, not hiding.
Top apps:
Lightroom Mobile – tone and brighten
Snapseed – selective adjust
FaceTune – light blemish edits only
We offer premium, natural retouching with every professional photoshoot.
7. Practice = Power Posing
Shoot 30, keep 3. Even the pros take time. Use burst mode, timer, and experiment.
