Healthy and beautiful food, tanned and ultra-sculpted bodies, breathtaking landscapes, lavish evenings... Photos that make you envious, but which do not always reflect reality.
Sara Puhto, a young American fitness enthusiast, has proven - with a series of comparative photos - that it is very easy to cheat and show your body at its best depending on the angle of the photo.
A different point of view
‘In a world where the Kardashians’ buttocks are glorified, it must be understood that everything is false and that this is not reality. Their butts can't be that big in real life from every angle!’ said the blogger in the caption of her photos.
The young woman took two photos of herself. On the first one, she poses standing upright. On the second, she takes a step forward, in a posture that accentuates the curvature of her buttocks (see video above).
Without even touching it up, but with a simple change of position, the Instagrammer manages to give a different point of view to her body. No more complexes, then! Sara reminds us how superficial the internet can be and we say bravo for that!
A step-by-step guideto taking perfect Instagram photos says the key is using natural light, not overexposing the images, and shooting at the right time of day. This is often known as 'golden,' or 'magic' hour; that time of day when the sun is just about to rise or set.
