I do not think a lot of people realize anything about the industry in terms of technicalities and how it all works... Like how defined your bones are going to be is going to depend on your pose (ie: back straight, lift your ribs, which is why all fashion models are told shoulders back when runway walking), the photographer’s lighting (dramatic lighting=more shadows=more bone definition), post process (dodge and burn, possible filters, etc), as well as the photographer’s own equipment (some lens types compress an image which makes a model look taller and more thin, Rodney Mickle shoots this way for a lot of fashion work, as does Echelon) and angle of photographing the shot.

So yes, I am definitely thin... But I am also very healthy, and you have to keep in mind that I do yoga 2-3 times a day, take dance, and run. I am my no means ever inactive about my health.

no, of course i understand that a lot of it comes from the photographer and the photo editing, of course of course. but i also know that unless they morphed your body in photoshop there has to be at least most of it be reflecting how slender you are in reality.
i'm very healthy too, just not in shape. i'm a vegan and have an extremely well-balanced diet. but my body can never look like yours, i am just not built like that. not graceful and elegant. more like sturdy and slightly crooked.
the way my bones are built will not change no matter how in shape i am, and i will just look oddly hollow if i was your weight. my bones would protrude in awkward places so it would seem like malnourishment, not beauty.
so i just envy you in theory, not like i am aiming to become like you, that would be impossible. c:

There is definitely truth in that. I often find myself envious of my friend V Nixie's body, because while I have an average frame, she has a small, lovely waif build. Tiny bones, tiny frame, tiny structure, and small wrists. It looks sooooo elegant and lonnnng in photos! I love it. And though I'm smaller, I'll never be built the same way, as you said

Its interesting to me how different my body looks when I breathe in or out, in the other photo which is similar, I look bigger when my rib cage is full expanded... weird, haha

Thank you! I love how well the side view for this caught my body type.
