A fitness blogger has revealed just how easy it is to alter the look of your body in a photo with just posture and tensing.
The beauty standard portrayed throughout Instagram is unattainable, even for those posing in the photos because that level only exists in that moment, from that angle, with that filter, keeping that posture.
With the endless galleries of faultless photos, it is difficult to remember that in fact, when those models slouch over, their tummy has about five rolls too.
Madalin Giorgetta gave a rare insight into the backstage of an Instagram fitness shoot to remind everyone that you shouldn’t believe everything you see on social media.
When she was accused of photoshopping, Madalin proved her point by posting a video of her altering her body.
Madalin regularly posts photos encouraging people to love themselves and be their own number one fan, not getting caught up in the Instagram pretence.
She wrote to her 214k followers:
Ahh the difference a flattering pose can make. I love seeing these photos on my feed as it reminds me that we all have our best angles that we choose to share.
The girls you see on Instagram don’t walk around with one leg bent and one hip popped and flexed abs the whole time!
Yes, Madalin! Continue to shatter the Instagram sham.
