Short girl over here, vertically challenged.... in
my native tongue 'pandak', that’s me!
Hey, I've got no problem but there are times I really (really) wish that I had long legs. Apart from making the clothes
look more flattering, I think people who are taller have the advantage of looking
more chic in photos. Gladly nowadays Photoshop no more because there are so
many apps that would make you look taller, slimmer, fairer and even
have make up on. My phone has a couple of apps that I use to enhance my
instagram photos, but more often I would prefer
to share the unedited and raw pictures of me because by doing this, I
think you could relate more to me. So how to avoid adding the 10 pounds in your
photo, read below.
1. Monochrome dressing - umm am I right that most
of your clothes are black, because we've been told that black makes us look
skinnier but did you know wearing all black will actually make you look
smaller? So you need to start to have fun and add some color to your wardrobe,
just bear in mind to wear the same
shade (bottom and top) to make you look
leaner and taller. Bottom options should be darker than your top.
2. Long sleeves - yes if you want to create that
illusion go for the long sleeve instead of the short ones.
3. Low V-neck - blouses, tops or dresses can fool
the camera into thinking you have long torso.
Now you know what to wear, here's how to shoot.
1. Photos that are taken straight on tends to focus
on the models stomach, making you look smaller, but if the angle is a low
shooting position and an upward angle it will make you look taller and thinner.

2. If you shoot slightly above the head, it also
creates a difference. You looking up towards the camera can make your neck and
torso look longer.
3. Cross your legs at your ankles - now you know
why I do this ALL THE TIME in my photo, this pose automatically make my thighs
and calves appear slimmer.

4. Lastly walk, make longer steps and click! This
pose makes your legs look longer too!
I
hope what I shared today helps and contributes to your feed goals!
