Today, photography has become a way of presenting and promoting yourself, your art or your business. We take pictures to capture moments in life or develop our own business, but in many situations it is easier and faster to take a picture of ourselves without outside help. Who knows better than you how to shoot you, especially if you use all the tricks of a successful selfie. So, what are these secrets that will help you look beautiful in the photo?

1. Light

The right light is at least 60% of success. With good lighting, your face looks its best and the image quality is as good as possible. The ideal light is moderately bright and diffused. At home, it is best to shoot while facing the window. If on this day the scorching sun, you can curtain the window with light tulle, which will soften the rays. Outdoor photos are best taken on a bright but cloudy day. Clouds scatter light in the same way as tulle. Indoors, it is good when the light source is slightly to the side and above eye level, but electric lighting loses to natural.

2. Angle

Of course, you need to build on your appearance. You probably already noticed when you are at your best. If not, try shooting yourself, changing the position of your face a little with each frame. In most cases, the most successful angles are considered to be a 3/4 turn of the head and shooting from above or slightly above, i.e. The phone must be above eye level. Be sure to catch the light and don't turn against it. Many studies on facial asymmetries have found that the left side often looks fresher and younger. Check which side of your face is "working". Better not film yourself from below. The risk of getting a second chin and a wide face is too great. A very good shot can be obtained by slightly tilting the phone itself. In this way, you direct the viewer's eye in the picture in a slightly different way, which can play into your hands.

3. Makeup

Be sure to mask minor skin imperfections and bruises under the eyes. Usually the camera of the phone betrays them treacherously. Beautiful skin is the best way to create a pleasant photographic impression. Ideally, you can do a complete make-up. It is good to highlight the skin with concealer or highlighter. To make the face not look flat, you can highlight the cheekbones. Very spectacular shots are obtained if you focus on the lips, choosing a bright lipstick. Too lazy to paint? Put on beautiful sunglasses in a shape that suits you and emphasize your lips.

4. Image

It's good if you remember some detail. Earrings, necklaces, glasses and other accessories can make a very stylish selfie. Jessica Alba, for example, loves to take photos in hats.

5. Facial expression

It is better to forget about the duckface and smile pleasantly. Even when you're not smiling with your mouth, use the Tyra Banks trick and smile with your eyes. The emotion in the picture makes it very attractive. Take selfies whenever you're in the mood. So the photos will turn out as natural as possible.

6. Background

Avoid shots with a messy background, gloomy passers-by and just those who want to ruin your photo. If something like this happened, and there is no way to re-photograph it, treat it with humor and write something funny under the photo. It’s also good if your outstretched hand does not get into the frame. In most cases, this looks out of place.

7. Filters and retouching

The better the picture (see point 1), the more opportunities to process it. Very often, in the process of processing, the photo loses quality and the initially weak frame does not get better after retouching. Filters are more efficient. You can highlight the face or add an interesting effect. With a high quality image, you can do everything in combination, successfully retouch and add a filter.

8. More views and likes

If you want to get more likes and views, posting time matters. Usually bursts of activity occur around 7-9 am, when users wake up and check the phone, 11-13, during work breaks and at 17-18, after the end of the working day. Posting photos at midnight our time target audience will be America. Popular hashtags will also draw the attention of fans of the relevant topics.

How often do you take selfies? What do you do to get good photos?

Of course, any bouquet will look beautiful in the lens. Omsk is full of beauties, in whose hands bouquets become even more charming. But in order for the picture to turn out to be spectacular, it is necessary, first of all, to take care of the lighting in the room. cameras mobile phones are not perfect enough to take a good selfie in a dimly lit room, so the picture is best taken in sunlight in a well-lit room or outdoors.

If you return from a date in the evening, where you were presented with a luxurious bouquet of flowers, then it is better to take a selfie near illuminated shop windows or lanterns so that there is enough light.

At weddings, birthdays, anniversaries, selfies with friends and, of course, with flowers are also popular. It is worth remembering here that slefi is best done by a person in the center. The camera lens should look straight ahead. At the same time, if the phone is placed vertically, then the eyes of those taking pictures will be directed to the center of the picture, but if the phone is shooting in a horizontal position, then the eyes will be directed to the side. This happens almost always and it is worth considering. At least you can warn your friends about it.

It is very important to consider your own proportions when taking a selfie. For example, girls with an elongated face should not be photographed from above, and if they have rounded cheeks, it is better to be photographed half-turned. A triangular face will harmoniously appear in the picture when the camera is brought up from below.

In addition, some features of the face and body can always be hidden or emphasized with a bouquet of flowers. A very popular selfie in the mirror with flowers in their hands. The most modest beauties prefer to focus on the bouquet, covering their face with their hands or turning it away from the lens. Also, fashionistas are often photographed with a bouquet of flowers lying down, when the bouquet just lies nearby.

I have long wanted to write a manual for all girls on how to take a selfie. I have not met a single female representative who did not try to capture herself. However, taking a high-quality selfie is not so easy - if you have already tried and were not too happy with the result, then this instruction is especially for you. And if you successfully shoot selfies, but want to diversify your instagram or page in social network original pictures, then I have prepared something special for you.

What is it all about

Selfie is a newfangled trend that has taken over the whole world. Now almost everyone takes selfies - politicians, movie and show business stars, public figures and, of course, simple people. This is a self-portrait taken by myself. What are the advantages of such a picture:

• you can make it yourself - no need to ask friends or relatives;
• it is appropriate in absolutely any situation;
• you can control the image quality.

This good way take beautiful pictures with yourself on your own phone. There are some secrets on how to take a selfie correctly, and I will tell you about them.

Important Rules

Usually a selfie is taken on a phone using the front camera, but, of course, you can use anything - a regular camera in a mobile phone, compact camera, a good webcam and even your favorite reflex camera. It is important that the photo was taken by you (otherwise it is simply not a selfie), and that you like it.

1. Try to treat yourself with humor. This is a great way to cheer up your subscribers and get a good shot, and you also need to take into account the fact that a funny selfie is judged according to completely different rules - composition is not important here, and light does not play a big role, only the idea of ​​\u200b\u200bthe shot.
2. Take selfies in different places. Yes, your face takes up most of the picture, but the background plays a very important role - remember the selfies of popular roofers, and you will understand what in question. Take pictures at home, in your own bed, in a cafe and at work, while traveling and on vacation.
3. Always take a large number of shots by changing the shooting angle, the position of the face and body, the angle and settings of the phone. This way you can get a lot of material to work with and choose the best selfie.
4. Shoot yourself in a non-glossy format. Yes, many girls like good makeup and duck lips, but you must admit, sometimes it’s so nice to see photos with a man in in kind- no makeup, tired, angry, tearful. Any such picture is a fixation of your life, a reminder that anything is possible.
5. Tired of selfies? Take a selfie! This idea belongs to Irish farmers who were the first to promote a new trend on Instagram - photos with animals. Do you have a picture of you hugging a horse? That's it!
6. Do not try to look too seductive in the photo. Erotic selfie has become obsolete as a genre, and you can no longer charm anyone with your duck face, and you can’t put a sexy photograph on ava.

The term “selfie” has only recently entered the vocabulary, but the concept of self-portrait is not new. Artists created their self-portraits centuries before there were modern smartphones, however, modern photographs do not at all claim to be a work of art. But how do you take the perfect photo? Meet a few practical advice for a great selfie!

Keep your chin down and your camera up

Love her or hate her, but Kim Kardashian definitely knows how to take selfies. There is even a wax figure of Kim right in the process of taking such a picture, it is on display at Madame Tussauds. In an interview, Kim admitted that she always tries to keep her chin down and the camera up. If you hold the camera too low, it looks like you have a double chin. If you raise your chin, you can see the nostrils, which is not very bright for the selfie. But remember that this angle is suitable for Kim Kardashian because she has a rather thin face. Your ideal angle depends on the shape of your face. Try different angles to find the best option.

Focus on more than just the face

Remember that you are not only your face. You can share other body parts as well. Did you buy new shoes? Show your legs! Walked twenty thousand steps? Show off a fitness tracker on your wrist! You can tell a story with your photo, even if your face isn't in it. If you're relaxing on the beach, sand-covered feet in a hammock create best story than a face in water. When you look into the camera, you are distracted from what is happening around, so showing off your appearance is not The best way show what is happening to you. A selfie is not just a face, a selfie is you. Try to notice small details too!

Create the right frame

If you want to convey your feelings through facial expressions, try to shoot with your smartphone closer. Get rid of the distracting background, focus on the eyes. But don't get too close either, as the camera will focus on the closest object, and that will be your nose. Get close enough to be in the frame, but not too close to ruin the quality of the photo. Smartphone not working good camera, so you need to frame your shot properly. If you are body shy, you can focus on the face and posture that will look good.

Divide and Conquer

If you position your face in the center of the frame, the picture looks like a passport photo. If you're not aiming for that kind of impression, use the basic photography rule of thirds. Divide the frame into three equal parts vertically and horizontally. Position your face to the left or right of the frame so that your eyes are a third below the screen and not in the very center. Such a composition allows you to show both your face and what surrounds you. The rule of thirds creates more compelling shots because it allows the eye to move across the photo and back to the subject.

Photo while taking a photo

Sometimes the act of taking a selfie can tell a story. Ask someone to take your photo while you are taking your photo. Celebrities often publish such photos, which are depicted with smartphones.

Crop your photo correctly

The background should be interesting, but not compromising. Always think about what surrounds you. No one will be interested in you if you have a dumpster behind you. It is better to cut such fragments.

Is it worth pouting your lips?

The so-called "duckface" is suitable only for real ducks. The rest is better to pose naturally!

Add sound

Instead of agonizing over trying to press the right button and keep the pose, just use the buttons to adjust the sound, this also allows you to take a picture.

Be careful with filters

There are plenty of filters and apps out there, but don't get too carried away. If the photo has too many filters, it looks unnatural. Don't try to hide your natural look!

Good lighting

The right light is the key to a good photo. Lack of lighting can ruin your selfie. Always try to take photos natural light because fluorescent lights do not brighten skin color. However, the direct rays of the sun are also not suitable. You need a uniform light, not directed directly at you.

Should you use a selfie stick?

A selfie stick is a great way to take a picture of both your face and the nature around you. Use this device carefully so as not to disturb others, especially if you are in a tourist place.

Take photos with pleasure
