5 Selfie Tips

Selfies are a way of life for a widening number of people online. They post their selfies to social media sites for fans, friends, and even complete strangers to view. However, some of the selfies lack that incredible shot that would get them favored by more fans. A selfie is not suppose to look posed or fake. It should appear completely natural and flattering. Most of the pictures are not taken with a professional camera. Instead, they are taken with smartphone or digital camera and instantly posted to social media sites. Here are a few tips for all the selfie fans that would like to take amazing pictures.

Strike A Pose – In other words, take a look in the mirror before actually taking that first picture. Groom appropriately for the picture. Make sure that your hair is groomed, makeup is flawless, teeth are bright, fresh, and natural.

Show Your Best Angle – This is an old trick that is still fresh. Just about everyone has a good angle to their face and their body. Angle your face to the good side and always hold the camera slightly above your head. Force your chin out and do not look directly in the camera. Look toward a point near the camera lens. Keep practicing until you find the perfect angle.

Go Natural – Forget about using a flash. Instead, use natural lighting through a window to avoid shadows or lighting that does not flatter your face.

Filters – Apply filters to soften the angels of your face and look more pleasant to the camera.

Look Natural – Don’t strike a silly pose or look angry. Instead let a casual smile radiate from your face. This will give you a natural look.
