Photos taken before and after weight loss, changing one’s interior design, or, for example, taking care of a plant, are always impressive because they show big changes. They are like films that are immediately fast-forwarded to the most interesting moment.
At Gain Tip, we love the photos that demonstrate not only noticeable transformations but also the work that was done to achieve the prominent results.
