There’s always 2 sides to everything

That old clique rings true. Everyone has a better side. Whether they know which one it is or not is a different matter.
Ask the photographer to take any side on poses from both sides. Better still see if you can work it out with some selfies at home before the shoot session.
There you have it, tip no 2 to help you, the paying customer, get the best out of your headshot shoot.
