How to take a good selfies?

Try editing your selfies

lighting is everything. Before you do anything, you’ll need to find a spot where the light gets the most out of your features, but this sadly isn’t as simple as it sounds. Too much light could have you squinting and covered in shadow, while not enough light could make everything bleak and blurry.

Pay attention to your background

DISADVANTAGES

• Think before you post. Many people might use your photo for their personal intentions
• People makes fun of your photo
• Many people around the world take selfies in dangrouse places it might cause death.

Set the mood with the perfect pose

Keep practising your selfies

Get creative with filters

Filters are the easiest way for you to edit your selfie. Whether you’re editing through an app or just your phone, pre-made filters can add a touch of lovable character to your photo.

Don’t overdo it

Nobody wants a selfie that looks completely unnatural. Don’t go nuts trying to make yourself look like a Disney character, stick to subtle touch-ups that make your features glow, but keep you being you. That’s always the most important thing.

Mood matters. Your pose sets the tone. Happy, serious, thoughtful or silly, it's up to you!

Take more selfies… and then some more!

Keep getting your camera out, flashing your smile and playing around with angles, and you’ll soon be capturing that perfect pose, angle and lighting every single time.

Get inspired by others

Your social media feeds are a great place to find some selfie inspiration. A casual scroll through Instagram will show you tons of selfies from celebrities, influencers and friends, so you could quickly come away bursting with ideas and itching to get your camera out again.

It’s called a “selfie” for a reason, so the main feature of the photo is always going to be you. The background is still vitally important, though, and this is something so many selfie novices get wrong at some point.

Location, Location, Location

Interesting locations can create interesting selfies, but it’s not all about exotic holidays and scorching sun. Great selfie locations can be found around the house, office and just about anywhere else - it’s just a case of wandering around to find that perfect spot.

Choose a flattering colour

Light, bright, and neutral backgrounds are recommended to make your face stand out in selfies.
