Selfie Ideas
Learning how to pose for a selfie will make a much bigger difference in how you look in the photo.
31. Extend your Neck Forward
To completely remove any double chin in your photo, and to accentuate your jaw line, extend your neck forward. This may feel funny, but it will dramatically improve how you look in the photo. Also, shoot from above. Raise the camera slightly above you and then look up to even further accentuate the jaw.
32. Optimize your background
avoid strange objects behind your head
avoid accidentally revealing things you dont want shown
try using blank walls as backgrounds
take test photos to vet the background

33. Ugly selfies
I know no one likes to look bad in photos. But ugly selfies can make for some interesting photos, especially if you challenge yourself to find that truly grotesque image.
34. Milestone selfies
When I asked my friends what they thought about the current obsession with selfies, there seemed to be a consensus that people take too many of them.
So instead of posting your 7 wardrobe changes throughout the day or all of your moody selfies every 5 minutes, try reserving your selfies for the truly awesome moments and milestones in your life.
For instance, Japanese astronaut Akihiko Hoshide took this selfie when he was on the International Space Station. Its very hard to top that.

35. Shadow selfies
Lee Friedlander, one of the greatest street photographers of all time, took self portraits by masterfully composing his shadows and reflections into his own photos. Its like he was making his mark on his photos.
36. Show Your Sense of Humor
Serious self portraits are hard to take. Its very easy to miss the mark. It takes a lot practice.
Instead, approach your next selfie with a healthy dose of levity. Being funny is easier to pull off because theres a certain universality about humor. Funny is funny.

37. Focus on a Theme
Instead of just taking a photo of yourself, try incorporating a theme or a motif in your selfies to get a sense of cohesiveness in your selfies.For example Take selfies with a little gnome friend. I was taking event photos at a party in the mountains and I brought this little friendly gnome.
38. Try a Different Perspective
You probably take your selfies at arms length, from a high angle, trying to capture only your best features. When taking your next selfie, try to just capture something great youd like to share with people. Dont worry too much about how good or bad you look.
39. The classy pose
Put on your favorite pair of glares and that lip gloss you so totally love and click! Sunglasses always add an instant charm to any shot and will make your selfie totally drool worthy.
40. The just out of bed pose
Minimal makeup and just out of bed hair would complete this look. Showing your followers and friends your without makeup selfie will make them love you all the more as theyll get a glimpse of the ?real.
