Originally used in the professional bodybuilding arena, “outangling” referred to striking poses while on stage in a competition setting in order to make oneself appear to look better than competitors. “Outangling” has evolved to be used in common, every day vernacular to refer to positioning oneself relative to the camera lens with regard to your body pose. Simply— maximizing your desirable features and minimizing your less desirable features. A person who takes good photos isn't always the most attractive, fit, or swole person necessarily -- however just knowing how to rotate and tilt your body in reference to the lens is critical. Two guys taking a photo together may mean the weaker guy looks better just because he "outangled" the other.
