Fellas, if you've ever spent any time on the internet dating sites then you have undoubtedly been a victim of the "angles". What are the angles you ask? The angles are the camera tricks used by women to make themselves appear to be something they are not. Usually the angles are used to hide weight or some sort of physical defect. Usually a decent looking woman will have both a full length front view picture, and a face shot. Not so fat girls. I will attempt to give examples as the days go by. Example one: This is a shot I call the "fantasy". It is a gleaming, soft-focused and dreamlike face shot. It appears to show a "dream-girl".
Be advised: NEVER be fooled by such a shot! Actual pretty women want you to see how they look! They don't rely on tricks like this! Here is a non-fantasy shot of the same woman-
Yes it's the same woman! Also notice she is attempting two additional angles in this one, the "overhead"
(trying to conceal body size by using perspective, and the "blackout" (in which she attempts to hide most of her size by using darkness). Just imagine how large she would be in a full-on front shot! I will discuss the "overhead" and "blackout" in more detain in future installments.
