It's that old Observer Effect, I suppose.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8327217397152414129.post-24834743689202137222011-10-25T07:40:28.524-07:002011-10-25T07:40:28.524-07:00Hi Gracey! i'm glad you found this thought-pro...Hi Gracey! i'm glad you found this thought-provoking. to me, it's just a personal choice. there's no right or wrong. altho you're not as 'straight to the camera' as some! Audi, for example, does the. same. exact. pose. for every single outfit. but then she's very interested in documenting her outfits and having a 'baseline' from which to judge.<br /><br />hi Vildy! i know, i'm shocked anyone still thinks that!<br /><br />"...slinky..." - you're cracking me up! tho i am more on the looser-limbed side.....re:your 2nd comment: now i am thinking some of my 'posing' might look less 'posed'. my hands are always up near my face because i'm pushing up my specs or fiddling with my hair ;) i'll have to make that video - i love a dare!<br /><br />Welcome Sylvia! Thank you! you know, the video surprised me - i've only seen this top in the mirror and in still photos, where i couldn't see much of a waist. And 'from above', where the view of the waist is obscured. seeing the video gave me a different outlook than before. <br /><br />Happy Day!! stephtinyjuncohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03614867046924013061noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8327217397152414129.post-70563634288694900302011-10-25T05:27:14.417-07:002011-10-25T05:27:14.417-07:00Definitely not a waist surrendering look as your b...Definitely not a waist surrendering look as your beautiful waist in clearly visible.

I'll correct myself. Now that I know what ...ah! I'll correct myself. Now that I know what I'm looking at/for, I can see the slinkiness in the posed photos.Vildynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8327217397152414129.post-76789105592790313202011-10-24T18:13:04.726-07:002011-10-24T18:13:04.726-07:00I'm in total agreement that "the camera d...I'm in total agreement that "the camera doesn't lie" is the bunk. Had read a wonderful scientific article about this but could never find it again. :( <br /><br />I loved the video - you're so slinky! Doesn't come across in the still photos at all. Makes the utilitarian aspect of some of your clothing that much more intriguing, though. How does someone slink in engineer boots? I'm waiting for the video. It'll be an education. Please, please do take one.Vildynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8327217397152414129.post-89677339913896829372011-10-24T16:05:00.686-07:002011-10-24T16:05:00.686-07:00This was a very interesting post. I've though...This was a very interesting post. I've thought about the different poses for showing off my outfits, but never different mediums. <br /><br />Usually, I do straight forward, straight-on to the camera poses because I really am show-casing the clothes, not my posing skills. And I've heard this is boring for readers, but I can't help but think that people are there for my style, not to see how many different ways I can angle my body. <br /><br />I will change my pose if it shows off the clothes better, but that's about it. I hope I'm not boring people but for me, straight to camera just seems to show the clothes best.Gracey the Gianthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13974894403938125193noreply@blogger.com
