Secrets to GREAT Instagram pictures

I’ll tell you a secret about the fitness industry. Here goes… those fitness models on Instagram don’t look like that. Here’s how they obtain that Greek god look.

Work the Angles

Twisting the body a certain way can give a certain look in photos.

For example, model Anna Victoria posted this photo

Twisting the body slightly to the right or left during a photo makes people look slightly leaner.

And then, you have the over the shoulder booty photos,

See how she’s sticking her right leg out? She’s basically extending her hips even further which puts the glutes in a very shortened position. In other words, she’s flexing the hell out of those cheeks.

Just pay attention when you scroll through Instagram. That over the shoulder spread legs look is how every girl takes a booty photo.

Some of these girls have big butts, and then the rest of them use this pose to get you to buy their booty workouts.

Left, she’s standing straight. Right, she’s arching her back and has her legs spread. She’s made some progress, but THAT much progress?

Lighting. The King of Lies.

Good lighting can make someone look like a million bucks. And bad lighting can make someone look like a troll doll.

Here’s an example of bad vs good lighting:

And here’s an example of what great lighting can do:

Now you know when you scroll through your Instagram feed, don’t believe everything you see. Most of it’s smoke and mirrors.
