How to take perfect Instagram shots and why you should stop comparing yourself to them

We are used to seeing beauties and beauties looking at us from Instagram pages. “I will never be like that (them),” you think, looking at your imperfect appearance in the mirror, and somehow your self-esteem falls.

Photographers have a golden rule - shoot before sunset or just after sunrise. Why? When the sun is not so bright, it favorably emphasizes the appearance, but the midday sun can, on the contrary, emphasize all the imperfections of the skin.

Not all bloggers wait for a certain time, but they themselves set up light sources on their devices in order to hide what they do not like about themselves.

Have you watched people posing while taking selfies? Everyone knows the best aspects of himself (in the literal sense!) And is photographed from certain angles. It is normal to choose angles for any person, because our faces are asymmetrical, and if a face seems to be one in motion, then taking pictures from different angles can look like a different person.

There are also foreshortenings for the body - for example, a bent leg "looking" with its knee into the frame looks more massive.

It depends on the correct posing, whether the picture will turn out to be successful or defective. For example, many girls, wanting to hide the "ears" on the hips, slightly push the buttocks back, and the stomach is pulled in.

Girls want to look better than they are, so they know where to pull in, where to dodge, and where to completely hide.

If a person with perfectly even glowing skin, bright eyes and a slender figure is looking at you from Instagram, do not rush to write him down in the ranks of ideals. Most likely, he did everything that we said above + used a filter.

Photo manipulation helps to achieve the perfect effect, which is why so many people in life look completely different.
