A social media influencer has shared a series of before and after snaps to show that 'perfect' poses can be deceiving.
Carrie Bickmore wanted to spread the body positivity message and encourage others to stop comparing themselves to people they follow on Instagram.
In one image she poses in a leopard print swimsuit holding the pose she wanted, and in the next picture she is relaxed and the two are a world apart, as the Daily Star reports.
