Article: The more you hold your torso forward, the more likely the camera is to catch an unflattering view of your stomach. Lean back as much as the chair allows, or lay your back flat on the ground. While lying on your back, bend both knees and press them together. This will make your stomach appear flatter and your thighs appear slimmer. Inch your heels toward your bottom until your knees are at an angle you like. But don't go so far that your calves are pressing against the backs of your thighs. You can also pop just one knee and twist it in toward your other leg slightly. This will help to hide your inner thighs if you're self-conscious about them. When your thighs are pressed down against your chair, they appear larger than they really are. Try to lift them a little bit just before the shot is taken. Press your toes into the ground to pop your thighs off the seat. If you're taking a selfie, hold the camera up above your head and shoot from that angle. It will make your hips and thighs look smaller since they are farther away from the camera. If someone else is taking the photo, ask them to crouch down just above your head and shoot from that angle. If you're sitting or lying down, your entire body should look relaxed, including your hands. Whether they're resting on your stomach or leg, or they're hanging off the side of a chair, keep your hands open and soft. Extend your fingers so they're straight, then loosen them a little so that there's only a soft curl through your fingertips.

What is a summary?
Recline as much as possible. Bend your knees if you're lying down. Lift your thighs off the chair if you're seated. Aim the camera down the length of your body. Relax your hands.
