Ilvy Kokomo, standing tall. (Patreon)

One thing I’ve noticed is that women who can overextend their ankles while retaining balance like Ilvy does here, always will appear to have longer legs in images, but also most have exceptional balance and a powerful pelvic region which I appreciate when photographing.

It has become a feature I look out for.

I’ll elaborate more on this in a future post with more examples, as this skill profoundly affects images, in my opinion.
