Woman takes very different bikini pictures just minutes apart to show the power of posing

The pictures you see on social media are not typically a reflection of everyday life.

So to combat this, body positive influencer Karina Irby has been uploading candid photos to her page.

For her latest post, the Australian swimwear designer showed how you can dramatically alter your appearance by changing your pose.

She took two very different bikini snaps five minutes apart – relaxing her body in one and confidently flaunting her curves in the other.

Karina captioned the images: "What you see online compared to how I’d look if you walked past me on the beach.

"Snapping content is all about angles! And this is a prime example!"

The 32-year-old continued: "These pics were taken five minutes apart and I look like two different people!

"I love both versions."

Many praised the influencer for being so "real" about her appearance and feeling comfortable in her own skin.

One responder gushed: "You make me feel so much more comfortable in my own body. Much love."

Another said: "Your body positivity makes me love myself a little bit more."
