GET THE
RIGHT ANGLE
To make your face look slimmer , shoot your selfie from slightly above . Holding the camera slightly higher than your head so that it ' s pointing down on you will make your eyes look bigger and help you avoid " pig nose ."
If you ’ re including your torso in the shot , turn one shoulder slightly towards the camera . Stick your neck out just a little , which will help eliminate that little bulge under your chin .
If you turn your head a few degrees to the right or left , your features will appear less flat .
Instead of taking the picture head-on , experiment with different angles to show off your features .
Angling the camera slightly above yourself and taking a snapshot of your face and chest will highlight your cleavage .
USE A
FILTER !
You are very likely going to be using a smart device to take that selfie , unfortunately those cameras are the ones most likely to capture blemishes and accentuate those less than flattering features . Play with a photo filter to see what types of photos you can create which will hide the negative bits and inch you closer to selfie perfection .
LIGHT
IT UP !
During the day choose natural coming from behind you . That lighting will make you look soft and beautiful . At night ( if you can ) tilt the camera so the light glows across your cheek bones . Avoid the desire to use the flash or stand directly under a light , it can add dark shadows to your face that won ’ t help that selfie to get any likes !
STAGE IT !
Be aware of your surroundings – Take a quick peep behind you to avoid the rabbit ears , the photo bomber or the string of dirty laundry that you need to hide from the internet ! If you still haven ’ t gotten it quite right then use that crop and zoom feature ! After all the models use Photoshop , why can ’ t you ?
DO YOU !
We would tell you to avoid the duck face but you certainly already know that ! Highlight your best assets . Try to get your face and just a bit of your shoulders included in the shot ! Why not smile ? Nothing lasts like a smile in a perfectly staged shot ! This takes us to our next point .
DON ’ T OVERDO IT
It ’ s been said that selfie mania is an unnecessary act of narcissism , so avoid being that guy who posts a new shot every hour . However , once you consider using that camera on yourself in moderation , it ’ s just another way to share your life with your friends or fans and have fun ! Go for it and Good Luck !
