August 17, 2015 10:08pm My correction- Lens focal about 135 MM , and your camera height should only be 10 inches off ground ( not 20 inches)--- and pointed directly at her with as little, if any, of an upward camera tilt as possible
August 17, 2015 10:02pm You wanted an opinion. Yes I also say reverse the legs. But also bend the arm closest to the camera. Bend at the elbow but not at a 90 degree angle. I think move that arm back and bend it into a "v" pattern so that the "v" frames your body. Have the upper half far enough back to leave space enough that you can peek between the arm and the body. Also - with the model placed as I suggested do two other things -- move "yourself" a tad more to the right( but not so much as to eliminate the space (I just suggested above) between her upper arm and her body. Also stand further back -- far enough back that you zoom in with a final lens focal length setting of around 235 MM-- but make sure her body completely fills the frame. Finally before you click the shutter ( with a lens set around 135 and her completely filling the frame----- YOU need to be laying on the ground with your camera pointed at her but the camera needs to be only about 20 inches off the ground---it works to keep models trim looking--- Robert Pear
