Hi. I would like to know how would one say "smile!" in the sense of taking a picture of people and telling them to smile for the camera. [ Said from male to group of females.] I'd like to know also if there is a specific way to say this in Syrian and/or Lebanese dialect, if it's not too much trouble. Thanks so much.

Note from asker:
| Thanks. So just to clarify, you would say that before you take the picture, as a way of instructing them to smile for the camera? |
