I thought I'd share the following two stories I read in the media. I've always seen those before and after shots and said 'yeah, right'. You know those things you say when you see such pictures. Not the same person. Definitely didn't use the product, etc., etc. But I really didn't expect that a few simple techniques could be used to make a person look so much worse and then so much better in a matter of minutes. It does of course make sense because a good photographer can take many pictures with many being average and a few gems worth framing.
The first article shows three people who simply change their appearance with no exercise, dieting, using photoshop, or fake tan. The results are impressive.

The second is a personal trainer who shares how she set up a before and after photo shot.

There is absolutely no maths involved in these apparent staggering changes shown in the before and after shots. One could however say there are some very 'calculating' people out there who would like to have you believe things which simply aren't true;-)
Over time we all pick up a few photo tips to help us look better. The illusion created here really starts with a person with a good physique and then creates an illusion using a poor body pose, clothing and camera angle. If only it was so easy to go the opposite way for the rest of us.
What is interesting is that both articles promote that real transformation takes time. There really aren't quick fixes and once you understand the maths behind weight loss it is very easy to see why. Once you understand the maths behind weight loss you'll also no longer be susceptible to those promoting illusionary quick transformations simply to make a quick buck on the back of hard working but gullible people, which is a bit sad really.
