"Now we're going to talk about the do's and don'ts of being a great photo model. It's really important when you address the camera that you know what your best angles are and what your worst angles are because the camera is very unforgiving.

What Nicki's done here is she's created an S with her arm and her leg so that we focus on a more slenderizing, center figure. This is 101 in lining yourself up for a camera."
