照片上的你眼睛緊緊地閉著，或者照片中的你比現(xiàn)實至少胖十斤，我敢打保證你絕對從內(nèi)心深處想把這些照片扔到垃圾簍的底部。。　

專家認為，與在柔和的光線下拍照不同，單調(diào)的光甚至照在紅地毯上反射的光線都會讓照相機在獲取景物尺寸時產(chǎn)生錯覺。通過調(diào)換拍攝角度或者調(diào)整光線強度就能達到所需要的影像效果，這些因素能夠偽裝不需要的贅肉而照出理想的臉型或身材。

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，選擇上下一色的衣服）
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（調(diào)整好相機的角度，不要從下面往上拍，容易顯胖）
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（將一只腳略微前傾）
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（雙腿交叉）
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（手臂動作很重，最經(jīng)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.
