Are you interested in some tips on taking good selfies? Personally, I love taking selfies because I’m never satisfied with photos that other #people take and plus, they’re a lot of fun to take! The only thing is, taking a decent selfie is hard since you’re the person in front of and "behind" the camera! If you’d like to learn to take better pictures of yourself while looking totally fabulous, take note of these helpful tips on taking good selfies that you’ll be happy to show off!
1. CHECK YOURSELF OUT
Tips on taking good selfies must include giving yourself a once-over before you take the pic! Have you ever snapped a photo assuming your hair and makeup were on point only to find out that you have flyaways and smeared eyeliner? Of course you can always delete the pic and take another, but you might as well check yourself out first so you have lots of good selfies to pick from!
2. LIGHTEN UP
When you’re taking a selfie, or any photo for that matter, you have to have good lighting! You can’t show off your makeup, #hair or new outfit in bad lighting because it’s distracting and unflattering! Sure, you can strategically hide a blemish with a shadow, but #don’t choose lighting that’s too harsh or too dark. Even if you plan it that way, your vision might not translate well to the photo!
3. BACKGROUND CHECK
Another important element in taking pictures is to pick a good, clear background. We’ve all seen those photo fails where someone has taken a selfie in a dirty bedroom with piles of clothes or in the bathroom while someone’s taking care of business. Always check your surroundings so you have a clear background that lends itself well to an impromptu photo sesh. #Look for solid colored walls, textured curtains or any place without clutter.
4. BE STILL
An obvious but challenging tip to execute is to be still when you take your photos. This is especially important when you’re taking a selfie since you can’t rely on someone else with two steady hands to snap the photo. You’re usually trying to pose, make sure you’re in good lighting and trying to steady a wobbly arm all at the same #time. It takes practice, but it is possible to take clear, non-wobbly pics! Take a deep breath, try to relax and hold your pose!
5. THE MORE THE MERRIER
When it comes to taking pictures, the more you take, the more pictures you have to choose from. Don’t expect to get your best shot the first time. Even the most effortless-looking photos took #time and preparation! #Don’t be afraid to take tons of photos so you have the best pictures to choose from when you’re picking your next profile or Instagram pic!
