One app worth its $0.99 cost is Afterlight, which could aid you conveniently produce expert, tailored images, suggests Cosmopolitan.com innovative supervisor Tara Rice.

When the photos are taken at an angle instead of straight on, it makes you look taller and thinner. If you take a look at behind the curtain photos of shoots from Victoria's Secret or Sports Illustrated, the photogs are always very low to the ground.".
