How to pose for thinner and slimmer look in photograph

If you want to make someone's body look slimmer, keep their arms from touching their body—leave a little gap between their arms and their body, so their arms don't add to their body mass and make their whole figure look larger. You'll see this trick used often in celebrity and fashion shots, and you'll be surprised what a difference this little gap between the arms and waist can make.

Another trick is to have your subject face their body away from the camera at an angle, and then just twist the upper half of their body toward the camera, leaving their lower half still facing away. Again, this is one of those little tricks that makes a big difference.
