Want to immediately look a little slimmer in photos? Create some space between your arms and your body. If your arms are stuck to your sides in a photo, the viewer sees one object — a “larger” body. If there is some separation between your arms and body the eye sees two objects, a slimmer body and slimmer arms.
Rest your hand on a couch arm or bar or table. If there’s no prop near you, place your hands on your hips or pull a Kate Middleton. Bend the elbows and hold fingertips.
Just that little bit of space and separation between body parts does wonders!
