Take notice how the position of the camera has some effect on body proportions, if a photo is taken from higher up, her legs appear even shorter (striped bikini), whereas if the camera is positioned lower to the ground, the torso is shortened by way of perspective. Therefor if you would like your legs to appear longer have the person photographing you crouch on the ground

She's lovely, and as a slim pear with similar proportions, she makes me feel a whole lot better about my body. And yep, I have notice how fashion photography also tends to take full length pictures from low down to emphasize the limbs! Good tip, tell your boyfriends:-)
ReplyDeleteYes a certain friend of mine is a fashion photographer and he is always crouching low down to the ground, it's just how it's done.
ReplyDeleteHow tall is she? I guess 5'9".
ReplyDeleteI don't think she has short legs. She's got a long torso AND long legs. But, she's not disproportionately leggy in the way that's so idealized in magazines, movies, and TV.
ReplyDeleteYes, just because you have a long torso doesn't necessarily mean you have short legs.
ReplyDeleteAnneLynne has a body shape very similar to me. Mine is I think a rectangle although I come in at the waist like her, and not just completely straight. I also have fairly slender legs like her. However, when I gain weight, I completely lose the waistline, but I never gain weight in the hips or thighs.
ReplyDeleteI don't think this girl is disproportional. I think her torso might look longer than it really is because it is very narrow. Imagine if she had wider hips, I think her legs would look longer.
