OK, most of us are not professional photographers. Even using great apps and high end camera phones might not be the trick to have that perfect selfie. By the way the essence of selfie is capturing our moment without the help of other people making it more difficult.
But with a bit of our tip and with your common sense, you might capture that perfect selfie.
1. Check your Light source: Remember, photography is all about light. Selfie needs to a have good lighting and try to stand facing your light source. Natural warm light is the best! Late afternoon or early morning is the ideal time for that warm light source.
Selfie Experiment: Try to take selfie photos in your car or near your window. But limit camera flash.
2. Check your background: Stop that bathroom selfie, unless you want your selfie featured in 9gag, make one with a dirty toilet.
Remember, you’re doing a selfie … avoid visual distractions behind you. If you want to take photos in your home, try to use a plain colored wall, or try to look for uncluttered areas. Avoid photo-bomber; a dog, a naked guy, even posters and other stuff. Doing travel selfie is also a great way to document things - the Eiffel Tower, the Statue of Liberty or the Grand Canyon in the background is definitely good.
Selfie Experiment: Make nature your background, a green colored grass or an old brick walls.
3. Check your perfect angles : The good news is , in digital age we can delete not so good photos – so experiment with different angles. Or you can check the front of the mirror to determine your best angle. The right angle is different for everybody , for your initial angle exploration , try to shoot slightly above your head with your head tilted.
Selfie Experiment: Hold your phone high above your head and away from you at a 45 degree angle
Now arm with Selfie knowledge, you might want to balance the act of being a model and a photographer.
