Women share selfie comparisons taken seconds apart to prove how much lighting and angles can affect a photo
Constance Hall, 32, is a mummy blogger from Perth who started a Facebook thread to prove that angles are everything when it comes to taking a good selfie
THESE are the photos which prove just how much the right lighting and a flattering angle can affect how good you look.
Constance Hall, 32, is the blogger who started a Facebook thread for women to post comparison selfies - and they prove that angles are everything when it comes to taking a good selfie.
Constance shared two pictures taken seconds apart, with one unflattering snap taken from below in a dark room, and one taken from a good angle with complimentary lighting on her side.
Taking to Facebook yesterday, other women commented on the thread with their own selfie comparisons, with some adding make up between photos and others re-positioning the camera.

Hundreds of women ended up sharing their own snaps below the blogger's post, with one woman posting two contrasting photos of her in a swimsuit.
The poster said: "This little body has served me well and gone through some tough times, but it's survived, thrived even.
"A sense of humour and acceptance can get you through anything. The best thing though, my wonderful husband loves every soft, squidgy inch of me and has done for 28 years."
Other women showed how much make up can change a selfie, or how different hair styles can transform your look.
One woman shared two photos taken moments apart, with tousled hair and glasses in one photo and contact lenses and done-up hair in the other.
She wrote: "Angle. Filters. Glasses or contacts. It all makes a massive difference.";
And the pictures kept flooding in, with comparison selfies appearing drastically different based on the angles at which they are taken.
Other brave ladies showcased their double chins in unflattering photos, and looked stunning in the comparison snaps, whilst one woman chose to snap comparison shots of her belly instead.
One woman wrote that she realised how different she can look whilst she was leaning over her phone.
She wrote: "Leaning over, everything drooped and sagged and I saw every disgusting bit of it in the mirror. Then I laid down and took another photo. The difference was incredible."
One jokingly captioned their selfie comparison: "Porky vs pretty(ish). All about the angles."
And the startling differences in each photo are mostly due to tiny tweaks, such as how the women styled their hair or how good the lighting is.
