6. Do some model angles.

7. The “Look-Away.”
If you’re not a fan of looking at the camera, then always try to look away. The key to pulling this off is to make sure your neck looks relaxed and that your body is still angles towards the camera so your swimsuit becomes the focus of the pH๏τo.

8. The low angle lean back.
When your camera is at a low angle and your legs are outstretched, there’s a tendency for your body to look longer in the pH๏τo. Help elongate it further by leaning back, but make sure to push your chest out to maximize your curves.

10. Step up!
Make use of the stairs, especially if it’s against an Instagram-worthy background. Take notes from Kylie and create some geometric lines with your arms and legs to look slim and long. FYI, having one foot outstretched always makes you look taller in pH๏τos!

11. The cross leg lean.
Make use of the white wall in the resort and lean back—but not relax. Remember to suck your stomach in and pop your ʙuтт out to create those curves. You can even make your waist look a little smaller by crossing one leg over another!

12. Talk to the hand.
Look coy in pH๏τos by acting as if you don’t want your pH๏τo taken! Be sure to take this sH๏τ at a low angle and with you leaning so it shows off your swimsuit and body in a sultry but flattering way.

14. Low angle and all legs.
Peтιтe girls, take note, because this pose is a must if you want to look two to three times taller than you actually are. This snap is pretty easy to achieve and just requires you to point your toes, curl one leg up and lean back. The key is to setup your camera at a dangerously low angle.
