A 

selfie is a genre of self-portrait photograph, typically taken with a hand-held digital

camera or camera phone. Selfies are often associated with social networking and photo

sharing services such as Facebook, Instagram or TikTok.

These photos have a casual carefree style. They are typically taken either with a camera

held at arm’s length or in a mirror. The image may include just the photographer or

other people
1. Fill The Frame With Your Face

A selfie is about you, so don’t be afraid to zoom in close!

2. Change Your Camera Angle

Sometimes eliminating a distraction is simply a matter of moving the camera to another

position. To make the best use of perspective, work to change your camera-to-subject

angle. Often by moving a little to the right or left, or getting higher or lower, you can

completely abolish that distracting tree branch or telephone pole.

3. Chin Up

Right before you are about to take the photo, stretch the muscles under your chin and

suck in that excess skin – just long enough to snap a photo. Then, bring your head down

over your shoulder and look at the camera.

4. Imagine Eating Something Delicious

Create a slight distraction that will capture your face in a naturally beautiful way.
5. Try not to Pose

For a selfie, it’s not about the pose, it’s about you. There’s a reason why you look great

in the picture or you look great in real life, because someone has caught the essence of

who you are, and a pose is not you.

6. Take a Series of Shots 

Keep your finger press on the camera icon and take a series of shots, between 5 or 6

pics, you will always have THE perfect one.

7. Add Your Personal Touch

With using filters, either way, you are posting on Instagram so you can use their filters

or you can use an app. I love Camera + and don’t forget a selfie is about fun!
