照片上的你眼睛紧紧地闭着,或者照片中的你比现实至少胖十斤,我敢打保证你绝对从内心深处想把这些照片扔到垃圾篓的底部。。
专家认为,与在柔和的光线下拍照不同,单调的光甚至照在红地毯上反射的光线都会让照相机在获取景物尺寸时产生错觉。通过调换拍摄角度或者调整光线强度就能达到所需要的影像效果,这些因素能够伪装不需要的赘肉而照出理想的脸型或身材。

Contrary to popular belief, pictures do lie. So make sure they’re saying you’re skinnier than you really are.
You Will Need
A monochromatic outfit
A body shaper
A heavy object to hold
A natural smile
High heels
Step 1: Dress for success(拍照前,选择上下一色的衣服)
If you know in advance you’re going to be photographed, dress all in one color, wear a body shaper, and make sure your clothes fit well.
Women who are wearing a dress or skirt should strap on some high heels — the kind that dramatically arches your foot. This will make your legs look thinner and more toned.
Step 2: Check the camera height(调整好相机的角度,不要从下面往上拍,容易显胖)
Make sure you are not being photographed from below; that angle alone can add up to 50 pounds!
Step 3: Put your best foot forward(将一只脚略微前倾)
Ladies, if you’re standing, strike a red carpet pose by turning a bit sideways and putting one leg in front of the other, toe pointed at an angle and knee slightly bent. Shift your weight to the back leg.
Step 4: Cross your legs(双腿交叉)
If you’re sitting, cross your legs and tuck the calf of the front leg partly behind the bottom leg.
Step 5: Keep your chin up(下巴略微向前伸)
To avoid the dreaded double chin, tilt your chin a bit upward.
Press the back of your tongue up against the back of the roof of your mouth. This tenses the muscles in your jaw, minimizing a double chin.
Step 6: Position your arms(手臂动作很重,最经典的就是一只手放在臀部)
Position your arms so that they are away from your body. Placing one on a hip is a good look.
Bare arms? Hold something heavy in your hands; it will make your arms look toned.
Step 7: Suck in your stomach(收腹)
Stand up straight, pull your shoulders back, and suck your stomach in and up, like you’re trying to zip up a tight pair of jeans.
In a group shot, position yourself in the back; those closest to the lens look the biggest.
Step 8: Don’t say cheese(不要大笑,自然最好)
Don’t say cheese; it will give you chipmunk cheeks. Just go for a natural smile.
In 2008, a Texas congressional candidate caught flak for mailing out a brochure showing a composite photo of his head on a slimmer body.
