4 ways to lose 10 lbs in your next photograph

Here are 4 ways to lose 10 pounds for your next photograph.

1. 1. Wear something dark. In a photograph dark cloths tend to look smaller and light clothes tend to look larger. So, wear something dark.

2. 2. Hide part of your body. You can position yourself behind a desk, chair, or another person to reduce some of your size. What is not seen in the photograph is not seen to be there.

3. 3.Turn your body from stand straight to the camera to turning to a 45 degree angle. This 45 degree angle usually looks smaller than profile or straight on images.

4. 4. Short or Rembrandt lighting. If you are facing to camera left, the main light should be placed also to the left of the camera with a fill light to the right. This will make your face look lighter away from the camera and darker towards the camera which will help your face seem like it is smaller than it is.

5. 5. If you are standing, place one foot in front of the other and place your weight on your rear leg. This will make you look slimmer.
