Chin-on-Hands

Set up: Bed beside a window, sheets rumpled and soft; daylight raking in from one side — overcast or sheer-softened is gentlest.

Wardrobe: Any oversized button-down. Lying on your front, the shirt and the mattress conceal the midsection completely.

Camera: Phone on a tripod at mattress height, level with you and slightly ahead, landscape (4:3). Self-timer or a remote; expose for the window-lit side of the face. Keep the lens level — shooting straight down the body foreshortens.

Pose: Lie on your stomach, prop onto your forearms, stack your hands and rest your chin on them, and cross your feet up behind you. Roll the shoulders back so you don't scrunch, and give a genuine, easy smile. Being on your front is one of the most covered, low-anxiety poses there is — nothing shows but your face and the fun of it.
