Description This is a composite of Desiree Diaz I used in a magazine article as well as some photo workshops.
There are no photoshop or lighting tricks it's all posing and camera angle. I shot it to illustrate how much difference a pose and a camera can make. If you look at the two images separately you should notice the shot on the right is a considerable improvement over the shot on the left. Desiree actually looks thinner and taller, sexier and more attractive. The illusion of her being taller comes from twisting her hips and about a 2 foot lower camera. If you measure the images you'll notice they are exactly the same height. She looks much more feminine and alluring primarily because of the curves of her pose. Commonly referred to as "S" curves, posing any woman with head tilted one direction, her upper body the other way, lower body curved back, even the legs (knees) can be curved. almost without fail the more cures you create the more impact the final image will have. I also had her open her mouth a little to elongate her face a little this will also help create a long lean figure. Try holding something over one image than the other, see what you think...
