📸 Tips for the Best Cafe Poses
- Choose a Window Seat: Natural side light gives a soft glow on the face. You won't even need flash.
- Action Poses: Sipping coffee, reading the menu, or making each other laugh — in-the-moment shots look best.
- Keep Hands Busy: A cup, book, or phone in hand makes photos look less awkward.
- Framing Trick: Use plants, lamps, or window frames in the foreground. It adds depth.
