10 + 1 tips on how to shoot perfect selfies

Ever since some good man invented the front camera for phones, we’ve been taking more pictures of ourselves than anything else. Not because, but it would be worth considering sometimes that we can’t find this better topic on our own face!

If your answer is no, then you are a staunch selfie maker. If that’s it, you’re probably a pro at the subject, but maybe we’re going to tell you something new and you’ll look better than an extremely embarrassing Vajna Timi wrapped in palm leaves on the beach.

1. Purity is half health

No, in this case, we don’t think about taking a shower sometimes, though that doesn’t hurt either. However, you should keep your phone, especially the camera optics, clean. Be careful not to get dusty and greasy, because then the whole day’s self-harvest can be there. If you want to wipe it off, a microfiber wipe is best, if it's not nearby, it's the heel of your shirt. Do not salivate the cloth before wiping, and preferably do not use paper towels. If the optics are a bit dusty, the paper will cause beautiful micro scratches on the glass, and a lot of micro will go a long way, as they say.

2. Don't take a photo of yourself from below

One of the basic rules of a perfect self is not to photograph yourself from below. Such a picture is like a pumpkin made by accident, your toad and chin will be huge on it, plus we can see into your nose. We hope you don't want that either!

If you hold the phone in front of you, the camera should be at least in line of your eyes, but perfect if it is a little above. You’ll be surprised, but if you hit the nail well, a filigree and pretty face will greet you back from the photo even if there are some deca you should give up.

 

3. Decide what is important, you are the background!

If you take a selfie, it means you are taking a portrait of yourself. Of course, you can also take a picture of yourself in front of the Basilica, where the background is important, but it will no longer be a selfie.

Try to bring the phone so close to your face that you fill the picture. You don’t need it all, but if you only have one point or the Ferris wheel in front of it, it’s not real. You should be careful with the proximity because distortion of self-cameras can easily make your nose a potato and your eyes a pig.

 

Listen to the light!

If you can’t catch the sunset, you can still take good pictures of yourself. It doesn’t take a lot of science to do that, but you always have to pay attention to the lights. It’s best to pull into the shadows, half shadows, and make sure the light hits your face from the front. Don't put the shadow on your phone, it will be too artistic!

Don’t go out for the day because if you look into it you will squint and even your nape will be wrinkled! if you stand in the shade don’t let the background be sunny because the whole thing will burn out like the Gobi Desert after a droughty summer.

 

5. Use a selfie stick or tripod.

The selfie stick stretches your hand, allowing you to photograph yourself in several ways. Always make sure that the stem of the stick does not hang in the picture, the picture is hopelessly pathetic if the stick is also visible on it.

You can also use a small tripod to turn off the phone so you can take photos of yourself from amazing places and angles. I recommend using a selfie stick that is also a tripod, plus the trigger button is Bluetooth.

 

6. Get to know your face!

The fact is that most of us have asymmetrical faces, in fact, some, such as our dear Prime Minister, have something hopelessly skewed. His nose specifically. Still, the photos are as straight as the angle! How can this be? So that your photographer knows the angle from which even an infinitely crooked nose looks straight.

Find the angle that is best for your face. If you find it, look for more favorable angles right away, because if you look the same in all your pictures, you’ll become a meme on the net in no time.

 

7. Look at the camera!

Don't shoot the screen while shooting, have you seen yourself enough? When you shoot the picture, take your eyes to the camera, you will see much better photos are taken. Moreover, if things go well, the viewer of the photo will always feel like you are just looking at it from the picture!

In fact, if we can give you one more piece of advice, take a very little look over the camera. So you can see a little more of the white surface under your pupil - eyeballs for the sake of the weaker ones - which will make your eyes look bigger than they really are. Yes, this is how you can take lens-looking pictures of yourself!

 

Where to stand if background is also important?

By no means in the middle of the picture. I know you are the most important thing to yourself, but covering the Grand Canyon is quite confident. So raise your phone’s camera a little above your line of sight. Imaginatively divide the image horizontally and vertically into three parts. The horizon should be one-third to the front of the top edge of the image, and you should be at one-third of the image divided vertically into three. So you’re going to take pictures that everyone will be amazed at, but no one understands what made it so good. Let's face it, this is called the golden ratio.

 

9. Learning from the better is not a shame!

If you see a good selfie, store it in your little head and next time try to make one too. It's not a shame, we can only learn from the better. The real thing, though, is when you try to combine fallen ideas. This way, not only your face, but also a little bit of your individuality will come back from the picture.

 

10. Filters, image manipulators

Do you think the cool stars, or Vajna “I didn’t have the money for a new dress” Timea, how many selfies they put on the net, share what they just hurriedly shot between the manicurist and the hairdresser? I'll tell you, none. What is the lesson from this? If you’ve kissed your couple extremely charmingly and, of course, captured that, sharing can wait a few hours for you to select a frank filter on your phone or weed out blackheads around your nose on your computer at home.

10 + 1. We beg you not to overdo the beauty effects on your phone unless you want to become terribly ridiculous or apply for a permanent place in Madam Tussauds panopticon!
