Weird. I was just thinking about bow legged models! Neither the newbie nor the model I most wished I lived near appears to have them. They don't show at any rate. Best advice: Use horses for props often.

Here's a thought, Some bowled legs, over accentuated in pose, (toes turned inward slightly and leaning upper body forward) can actually make an image so incredibly sexy in the correct slinky attire that guys will drool and salivate. Never try to hide what can be exquisite - work it like nobody's business and you may be blown away at how wonderful you look. I love you all :-)

I love you all :-) I guess I will need to try this to see if it works for me. I normally do 'straight' standing poses with one leg slightly bent to offset the amount of 'bow' that can be seen... I'm coming after you if this fails!

Uh... you do? I consider bowed legs to be MUCH worse than what you have. I couldn't tell.

Remember: it's all about angles. Really, the only way one could tell if anyone was bow legged, particularly in mild cases, would be if you saw them standing front on with their legs straight. Introduce an angle and the appearance of the bow legs should go away. Like I said, I can't see it on you, so if it is there, it should be easy to disguise

If you shoot head on with the camera, probably will be more noticeable. Honestly though, I still say it's not even severe enough in the OP's case to warrant over thinking her poses. Her legs look pretty and it doesn't stand out in a negative way or anything.
