30+ Posing Tips to Achieve That Flat Tummy and Slimmer Look in Photos
Put Your Shoulders Back
One way to show off your body with confidence, including if you’re trying to look slimmer, is to choose a posture that makes you look more like your goal.
The first thing we recommend for a simple shot is standing with your shoulders back. Not only does this help straighten your back and give you a more flattering image, but this pose also helps you look a little taller, which can help create a more slender-looking frame.
How to Hold Your Hips
The position of your hips is just as much of a thing to consider as your shoulders. For instance, if you want to show off your hips, a cocked stance can be a great way to go.
If you want to look slim in your photos, you’ll want to actually position your hips so that your stance offers you a gap between your legs. With this simple positioning, you’ll notice how some of your favorite influencers make that thigh gap happen.
Stepping Out
Another way to create a slender silhouette that has to do with your gait is how you’re standing from the waist down in general.
Stepping with one foot forward like you’re stepping towards the camera can help this a lot. Not only does it create an interesting picture because it gives the image a dynamic sense of movement, but it’ll also help you look a little slimmer than if you were standing completely straight.
Get on Your Tiptoes
We’ve covered the fact that if you want to look slimmer, there are some tricks that you can use that also make you look taller.
One tip that you’ve probably seen, especially in photos of dancers, is standing in a tiptoe position, although that’s far from the only application. You can also use this in tandem with the “stepping forward” pose to pull a few of these tricks together at once!
If you see your favorite model on Instagram looking perfect, odds are that the pose they chose is intentionally flattering. After all, photography is an art form, and models and photographers know all the tricks to get the shot. While some poses are great for showing off your curves, your height, or any other feature you might want to showcase, models will turn to different poses if they want to look slimmer too. Let’s take a look at some of the tricks of the trade!
