Summer may be over, but our 7,107 islands still beckon. Our very own Boracay ranked in TIME's World's Greatest Places for 2022, so if you're looking for a sign to explore the country's sights, this is it. Plus, slack season means better deals and less-crowded beaches so we can unwind and take our photos in peace. Sweet!
Already planning your OOTDs? Why not go one step further and plan out your pose? A quick scroll through Bubbles Paraiso's feed will leave you totally inspired! The actress is an active adventurer who is often depicted enjoying the great outdoors, finishing a workout, and sharing mindfulness and empowerment quotes—a far cry from her most recent portrayal of the villainous Lara Vera in the TV series Ang Probinsyano. Her poses are always so effortless and flattering, and we definitely want to cop that vibe! Check out our favorite snaps below:
7 Effortless and Relaxed IG-Worthy Swimsuit Poses To Try, As Seen on Bubbles Paraiso
1. An upgrade from the usual walking shot is by taking the photo from the side. The key here is to exaggerate the movement by also arching your torso forward. This hack creates the coveted S-curve or the visual line of beauty using your bod.
2. Push yourself up from the sides of the pool and show off your arm strength as well your taut core. The water dripping effect makes for a dynamic sultry shot—just make sure to have your lensman crouch to meet you at eye-level so that the image looks flattering!
3. Another play on vantage is having your photographer snap your picture on your way up the boardwalk to make you look leaner. The downside is that it will make you appear you lost a few inches off your height so make sure to stand on tiptoes to elongate your gams. Don't forget to flash your pearly whites!
4. Not that comfortable showing off your midriff? Look totally serene and at ease by sitting on the ledge of a pool, and pulling your knees close before reaching for your ankles. It's a fool-proof way to show off sun-kissed skin without feeling awkward.
5. Nothing says effortless and relaxed than this pose! Lie down on the swimming pool's steps and cradle your head behind both hands. This can be tricky with the water pulling you in a different direction, so flutter your legs lightly by bending one leg while extending the other. Not only will this keep you in place, it looks good on camera, too!
6. Another way to flaunt your physique is by creating visual triangles with your body. Start by sitting on the ground then bending your knee slightly while keeping your feet planted on the ground. Lean back with your upperbody and use both arms for support.
7. Pool chairs make great props for swimsuit photos. It definitely screams "vacation". Put on your sunnies and pull one closer to the pool for a quick photo sesh, just make sure to return it after.
8. We will never tire of sunset photos! Take advantage of the spectacular skies by standing against it to show only your silhouette. Face one side, stand tall, and enjoy the moment—the double-taps will follow.
