Have a partner take the photos of you. Direct them how you want it to look. Be specific with your vision and instructions- for example. Format- hold the camera portrait (vertical) or horizontal (landscape). Distance- close up, head and shoulders, full frame. Angle- from below, from the hip, from above, birds eye view...
