“Laid Back” is the easiest Mermaid pose on land and is a total thumb-stopper in the feed. 

No explanation necessary for this one – just lay back!

Your photographer should communicate how to angle your chin for their camera. Don’t be afraid to ask!

Work those Angles!

The best camera angle is from high above to show off as much of the full mermaid look as possible. Try shooting from the head, the tail, and the sides – every look is different! You can get photos from directly above by using a drone, or by getting crafty with your environment.

Use your Hands

Play around with your arms, reach out around you or relax your hands on your chest & tail. You can also clasp both hands behind your head for neck support & a cute, chill pose!

Try it on land or in the shallows!

You can try this pose along the shore in the crashing sea foam or in a shallow pool.

Try it on the water!

You can even try floating on top of the water, though a heavy silicone tail may require you to stay in motion to get the look you’re going for.

Try it anywhere!

You never know where you may be able to pull off this pose, so keep your eyes peeled! Whether you’re on a beach, in a pool, or even indoors- this pose has one of the best track records for engagement, so don’t sleep on being “laid back.”

Try it with a friend!

Grab a mermaid friend and lay out together for a cute chill friend pose.
