How to Take Good Selfies

Meghan F

61.3k Views

Step 1 of 8

Start with a decent camera(: basically anything besides your iPod camera if you can 😝 I find they add a lot of discoloration. I use my point and shoot Olympus as seen above and my canon XSI(:

Step 2 of 8

Dress to impress!

Step 3 of 8

Practice smiling; if it looks like you're sick/dying/kissing your aunt, your doing it wrong.

Step 4 of 8

Don't just take photos in the mirror! Set a timer and pose(: or have someone else take the pictures of you!

Step 5 of 8

Take risks and try something different! And of course have fun with it! Usually the photos I take risks on turn out the best(:

Step 6 of 8

Be yourself. I'm a huge dork. And if this doesn't show who I really am, I don't know what will 😝

Step 7 of 8

Edit :D I suggest Picmonkey.com(: even a simple Black and white overlay can make a photo go from good to great!

Step 8 of 8

Goodluck :D pleAse like and comment and follow, I appreciate(:
