Sorry if this has been done but....I follow quite a lot of fashion bloggers. Ordinary women who style up clothes etc, do try ons etc. Generally they seem lovely so not here to be too critical. Except...why do they do such ridiculous poses in their photos????? They look daft. Totally puts me off.

Title should be ‘Instagram’ not my user name.

Yes, I follow a couple and there seems to be a standard weird leg/lean pose which has crept in over the last couple of months...not sure if it's supposed to make them look taller or slimmer but they just look like pillocks! WAT seem to have exclusively adopted this pose. Like you I'm not trying to slag them off (despite calling them pillocks) but I wish they would just pose more naturally!

I assume they're trying to make it so that they show off as many/all the different angles of the clothes, shoes, bag (or whatever) at once to try and get you to swipe up and buy it, whilst trying to make whatever it is seem slimming and doubly seal the deal so you'll follow an affiliate link and buy it. Surprisingly difficult I assume to fit all that into one shot.

That's so funny , I just followed one the other day and thought the same. I get when its a gorgeous sunny day and there happens to be an amazing bush of flowers nearby but every single picture is so unrealistic. That's like no one's life ever.
