Want to look skinny in pictures? I know that feeling. You just don’t like the way your body looks in photos, you’re bloated, not your ideal weight, and the list goes on and on. As a fashion blogger, I have to take photos all of the time. Over time, I learned tricks to make my body look its best. I want to share my findings with you!
I have all the life hacks you need to know down below!
One: Look Skinny in Pictures with hands under chin
Have a double chin? Place your hand underneath your chin to cover your fat and make the photo look more artistic. As seen in photo above! I use this hack all of the time and it’s genius!

Two: Look Tall & Slender
Angles, angles, angles!! I’m 5’4 and a half but can look taller if my photographer crouches down and takes shots in almost a sitting position. It makes you look less like you are being overwhelmed by the buildings which in turn makes you look taller and skinnier!
So next time someone is taking your photo have them squat or kneel down. Obviously, get someone who isn’t embarrassed to do so in public!

Three: Show off the Booty
Want to look skinny but your booty to look thick? Here’s what you do: have the person taking your photo move the camera down (either by sitting or lowering their hands to waist level) and angling the camera up. If you take the photo straight on with no angles you will look bigger and have a pancake butt (yuck).
Tilt the camera up while it’s at the photographer’s waist level or lower – and bam skinny but with a booty!
Also, pop one foot off the ground (like in photo above) to lift your booty.
Fashion tip: these sneakers make your butt look bigger! Why? because of the way they are made with an internal platform.
Want an affordable option? Dupes that look so look real for a fraction of the price!

Four: Create Your Own Thigh Gap
Want a thigh gap? First, thigh gaps truly depend on your anatomy. However, we can create the illusion of one by your stance.
Use the photo above as reference: Stand with your feet slightly apart, push your hips back, and create an opening with your legs to give the illusion of a thigh gap.
Fitted jeans like these are bomb in making your legs look skinnier! They suck everything in and make your legs look half the size!

Five: Look Skinny in Pictures by lifting shoulders
Lifting your shoulders make your collar bones more prominent. Even if you are big boned this trick will work! Collar bones make your look skinnier. It’s really easy to do in photos and will make a difference!
Cute platform wedges also make your legs look longer and slimmer. I highly recommend these, they are SO easy to walk in all day!

Easily hide your gut by placing your hand over your waist. Want to be sneaky? Wear a top or dress with fun sleeves so it looks like you are showing off your sleeves and not like you are trying to hide your tummy!
This top has the perfect sleeves to make you look skinny!

Seven: Cover Stomach With Handbag
Similar to number six, you can cover unwanted areas with your handbag! People looking at your photos will have no idea your are trying to cover imperfections but will be focused on your accessories!
Simple, yet effective!

Eight: Look Skinny in Pictures with Angles
Taking a photo while sitting can make you look so skinny if done properly. Make sure the photographer takes the photo standing up and angling the lens down. This will make you look 10 pounds skinnier!

Nine: Fake & Bake
A good tan makes you look toned and skinny! I prefer not to bask in the sun or tanning beds (because they cause cancer) but a good alternative is a spray tan or this tanning lotion that makes you look like a Victoria’s Secret model.

Ten: The Backwards Photo
Want to hide arm fat? Double chin? Belly fat? Turn your back to the camera and smile over your shoulder. This is playful yet elegant. It will help you look skinnier and hide your self-conscious spots!
