selfie ideas

Only take a shot of your best feature, for example your eyes or lips. Letting the entire frame consist of your most flattering features will result in the viewers focus being automatically drawn to them. So go ahead and capture your long legs or your beautiful mysterious kohl rimmed eyes in a extremely enchanting selfie.

While taking photos, selfie or otherwise, light coming from behind the photo subject is one of the biggest cause for cameras producing bad shots. Background light blinds the camera lens. As a result, it does not properly see the subject. Instead of subject the background light takes the center stage.

Make sure that enough light is falling on you from the front or side. Your face and body should be well lit. If enough light is not there, you may try to put a lamp in front of you.

The urge of taking a selfie may arise anytime and anywhere. When it does, try to come in natural light if possible for example near an opened door or window . Natural light is better for taking photos because it highlights more colors and with more precision.

If the source of light is too strong e.g. light from a lamp falling straight on you then you should try to defuse and soften it. A simple method is to bring a thin and translucent sheet between light source and yourself. The sheet should not be so thick and be placed in such a way so that it allows permeation of enough light on you.

In absence of natural light, if youre shooting selfie in artificial light, it is better to switch off that florescent lamp and use another light source. Florescence causes natural colors to look different in photos.

Before tapping that shoot button on your camera screen, you should clean up the view that is coming in background. Selfies and other photos dont look good if the main subject is surrounded by a lot of clutter.

Not only that you should unclutter your surroundings, it would also be good if you could move and take selfie in front of a pretty looking background e.g. a wall painting, greenery or whatever seems beautiful to you! . It will only enhance the quality of your self portrait.

A smile is perhaps the most important ingredient of a good self portrait. Try to put a smile on your face and it would be even better that your shiny teeth are also visible. Elegant teeth make smile look real and full.

In your front camera, look at your teeth and see if they are clean. You dont want a piece of spinach, broccoli or coriander etc. from your last meal sticking out. That would be embarrassing. No?
