    I'm a fat boy, I felt pretty awful about myself today. I thought it wouldn't hurt to try your videos. Just in case.
    And I got dressed up, and tried out some of your tips, I took photos of myself that make me wanna cry. I look hot, I look confident, I look good! Thank you :)

      @(taylor’s version) making sure the horizon is actually horizontal (???)
      (I'm sorry I suck at explanations)
      try using the grid and the horizon on your picture should be parallel to one of those horizontal grid lines

  • @princ3ssdanae
    @princ3ssdanae 2 года назад +78

    For anyone that has a samsung there is a grid mode and shutter shooting. for grid mode go to the settings and for a shutter shot drag down the shutter button and you can see how much pictures it has taken with a number replacing the button.

  • @Miss.A-B
    @Miss.A-B Год назад +168

    I used to work in Westfields, White City I can confirm she is right that we’re not ugly we just don’t know how to take pictures. I used to see a lot of influencers from London freely walking around there and 8/10 they don’t look like their pictures. Your plus size influencer isn’t that “big”, your favourite bad b influencer doesn’t look that snatched in real life, it’s just edits and filler from time to time and your favourite bbl model tbh looks a little weird in real life, and I say that because the bodily portions do not match their body frame. Try and get influences from real-life experiences and real people, travel, met new people, learn your angles etc and view people on Instagram with a pinch of salt.
