This Trainer Is Exposing The Truth Behind Fitness Selfies
#1 Sophie Kay Is Exposing The Truth About Fitness Selfies
Sophie Kay recently took these two photos to show that lighting is everything when it comes to fitness selfies. These look like typical "before and after" photos, but they were actually taken 3 minutes apart.
#2 What Kay Did To Make Her Body Look Different
Kay did three simple things in between photos. She turned off the overhead light, put on underwear that fit better, and posed in a more flattering way.
#3 The Pressure Is On
Kay says that the pressure to have a perfect body is becoming worse and worse with social media bombarding everyone with selfies all day.
#4 Kay's Not The First Trainer To Prove This
Former Gawker reporter Mel V (who's also a personal trainer) showed us in 2013 how deceptive a photo can be. Here she took two photos 15 minutes apart and attributed her "transformation" to better lighting, better fitting close, posture and a filter.
#5 Andrew Dixon Proved It Too
The Huffington Post ran an article in 2013 by trainer Andrew Dixon. He showed how he could achieve this "before and after" look using a variety of methods in an hour. So don't believe everything you see!
