Shadows and photography

[enviroTodd]

Had a very eye-opening experience with progress pictures this weekend. If your light comes from the side, you get shadows that make you look way bigger than you are. If you make sure your light is straight-on, it’s far more slimming but also more real. If you take pics inside, either try to have light coming from both sides as well as the front, or, stand facing a window to take the picture.

Although I do like the idea of being your hero, I really doubt you look fat in pictures. You need to be kinder to yourself. True, I've only ever seen one picture of you, but I don't think that's the case at all. You look great to me.
