Camera Distortion

We've all had our picture taken and thought I look fat....

When I think of camera distortion I take in to account two things my lens and posing. Some lenses can make you look tall and skinny and others make you look short and fat. A good photographer will know which lenses are appropriate to use.

Posing is a little tricky… My basic rule of thumb is whatever is close to the camera looks bigger. That being said if your one of those people that hates the way your arms look you want to pull them back, so they look smaller. Later this month I will be adding a video blog with important posing techniques I use.
