11 Mysterious and Sultry Bikini Poses to Try, As Seen on Angelique Manto

If you still think bikini photos have to be overexposed, blindingly bright, and highly saturated, you're mistaken. As it turns out, lovers of the chiaroscuro effect can definitely hop on the bandwagon! Certified beach babe Angelique Manto knows a thing or two about artfully posing in a bikini, making shadows and colors work to her advantage. Read ahead to pick up a few tricks on posing the way she does!  

1. Is the sun too bright? By all means, block it out! For all the shy girls out there, here's another way to cover your face for that low-key bikini pic.

2. Let your body do the talking. Pose sideways and flaunt that skin! Plus points if you have a stringy swimsuit on–the ribboned straps add a cute touch. 

3. Morena skin + hot pink = bombshell. For extra contrast and impact, wear denim shorts over your bikini and let the straps peek out.

4. Take advantage of the framing and pose between curtains. 

5. Shadows and streaks of light yield drama. Pose beneath a canopy of leaves and allow patches of sunlight decorate your body.

6. Before there were filters, there were film cameras. Every IG feed needs a pensive, grainy pic. So, next time you hit the beach, take out your film camera and pose in your bikini against a white wall. A hat is optional! 

7. Bikini lift pose alert! This one will never be laid to rest, and we're totally okay with that–it really is flattering.

8. Is the photography counterpart of reverse contouring? Instead of creating shadows, pose at night and turn on your camera's flash! 

9. Let's face it: Sometimes, when we pose for bikini pics, we may tend to overthink how we arrange our limbs, how to strategically show skin, how to flaunt our best angle, and so on. Angelique's tip: Just float! Show off your best side, and let the crystal-clear waters act as a natural cover-up.

10. A back shot will always be sultry! A bikini with an interesting cut and/or color will make the photo more interesting. 

11. Sniff out contrast. Pose in a black bikini against a white background, and vice versa.
