The ultimate selfie secrets: how to shoot the greatest possible self-portraits

On Instagram, photos of prominent bloggers receive hundreds of thousands of likes. However, these images aren't always captured with a camera by skilled photographers. 

You need new, attractive images every day, especially for the stories that require different photos several times each day. Consequently, bloggers employ life hacks (and processing applications, of course). We will discuss how to take the ideal phone selfie in this piece.

Use the smartphone's main camera rather than the front one  

The front camera is indeed designed for flawless selfies. The majority of smartphones, however, have a far inferior primary camera. Therefore, it is preferable to turn the screen-facing side of the phone away from you. If you want a favorable angle, use a mirror. For instance, you may use a smartphone holder or place your phone on a table or shelf. Use the timer for 3 to 5 seconds to snap a distant shot. These days, every smartphone has this feature. 

And last but not least, clean your smartphone camera before snapping a photo! A clean camera lens is a secret to a flawless photo, yet few people realize this.

Sit properly: straighten your shoulders and lengthen your neck 

But don't go overboard. You don't have to stand at attention and have a barrel-chested appearance befitting a soldier on parade. The posture should be effortless, elegant, and light. In case you need to pull in your stomach, make sure there is no visible tension in your body. Therefore, spin around in front of the mirror and give oneself a thorough once-over. It will assist you in getting the ideal selfie.

Hold your smartphone at or above eye level. 

You run the danger of seeing a double chin in the photos if you hold the phone low (even if it is not there yet). Please take note that many bloggers frequently take a little self-portrait from above or even hold their smartphones above their heads. Try it; you'll obtain an eye-catching picture from this position. 

How can I make my face seem lovely in photos with various expressions? 

Get comfortable first. You should chuckle. But you shouldn't strain to smile. Watch a stand-up comic give a quick speech or read some amusing writing. It's crucial for you to unwind. Beautiful pictures can only be taken when the facial muscles are relaxed.

Pick a 3/4 angle (semi-sided to the phone camera). And remember to grin! Afterward, smile even larger while giving the camera a one-eyed wink. See what striking images you can capture. 

Make fascinating photos by using hand motions. Even if you only use one hand to capture the photo, include the other hand in the shot. The easiest is to use your middle and index fingers to form a "V" shape. Look through it and display it vertically/horizontally. Try! If you have two free hands, build a basic "lattice" out of two "V" signs. By the way, Robert Downey Jr. is being pictured in that manner. Try that as well. Posing for pictures is enjoyable! Too anxious about it? - Don't anticipate getting nice photographs!
