Expression Sessions - Taking Your Best Selfie Yet Let’s be honest, we all have taken selfies at one point in time or another. And it’s totally okay because sometimes a

selfie or two is just kind of necessary. From teenagers to middle aged people, from politicians to celebrities, nearly

everyone is in the hype. Who can blame them? Selfies are fun and a great way to flaunt your style and show your

personality.

But don’t just point and shoot! Believe it or not, there’s an art to taking a good selfie, and we’ll let you in on the deats!

Work with your “good side”

Experiment with different face angles and camera positions. Turn your head to the side a bit so that it appears less flat

or hold your camera slightly higher than your face to make your eyes seem bigger. Whatever angle or position you

choose, ensure that it highlights your strong features.

Avoid the passé

Just as with fashion trends, selfie poses come and go. The duck face was wildly popular back in the day, so is the

infamous pretending-to-be-asleep pose. Muscle flexing and pretending to be caught off guard are also notable passé

poses that you don’t want anyone catching you do. They’re difficult to pull off, not to mention kind of silly.

Pay attention to good lighting

A solid light source is everything. Selfie or not, lighting plays a vital part in taking a good photo. Natural light is

always flattering, so take photos outdoors or near windows or doors.Lighting can brighten your face and highlight

your features if positioned in front of you, while it could cast shadows or distort your face if it’s placed behind you or

to the side.

Don’t use flash

Do not, under any circumstance, use your camera flash. It distorts your features, creates forehead glare, and may give

you red eyes on the photo.

Use the back camera of your phone

Many prefer to take selfies with their phone’s front camera because they can see how they look, but front cameras

usually has a low resolution. So always opt for your phone’s back camera. It has a higher resolution than the front,

avoiding blurred and grainy pics.

Take advantage of your background

The best selfies include more than just a face. If your background looks interesting, consider including it in the photo.

A selfie in the great outdoors is always eye-catching. If you’re walking at the park or hiking in the woods, try to

capture yourself immersing in nature. Or show the city landscape while you are frolicking on the streets.

Don’t take it too seriously

Keep your selfies fun and cute to give out a message that you took the photo on a whim. Selfies are like an

afterthought – a quick snapshot for your thoroughly cataloged social media life, so just keep it light.
