Why do I look fat in photos?

Question: Why do I look fat in photos!?

Every time I have a photo take I seem to gain a considerable amount of weight!. Im only 120 pounds at 5ft 6 and I look about 135 pounds!. Friends have said "Oh you have lost weight since that was taken' Or 'I don't remember you being bigger'Www@QuestionHome@Com

It could also be the way you were standing or sitting at the time!. I'm guessing that you're talking about amateur photos and you were probably unprepared for getting your photo taken so it's possible that they caught you in an unflattering position or angle!. A good professional photographer should have the experience and knowledge to ensure they photograph people in the poses and angles which are the most flattering for the sitter!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

It has to do with the photographer, the lens choice and camera position!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
