Aiming For That Flawless Selfie? Here Are 5 Tips That Would Definitely Help


 

 

We live in the era of selfies and be it Instagram, Twitter, Snapchat or Facebook that you frequent, you are bound to see a milieu of beautiful selfies every day. It probably leaves you wondering why your selfies don’t come out that way or if it already does, kudos to you!

Well, there are some things that you can be doing when taking your selfies to make sure they come out the way you want them to.

Here are five tips that would help you to take a much better selfie.

1. Use natural lighting like Ronke Raji

 

Natural lighting is appropriately toned for pictures. Most selfies end up not coming out the way we want because of the source of light we use.

Instead of taking pictures in a room that is dark or brightened with white fluorescent, go outside or open the windows and stand in the centre of the room to take your selfie.

2. Face the sun like Alissa Ashley


The sun does something amazing for selfies. It is the ultimate filter. Utilize it in your selfies by facing the sunlight and taking that cute picture that everyone would love.

When you are using the sun, try to face it and not be under it. Being under it can cause a shadow to form against your face and you don’t want that.

3. Retouch your background like Ifeoma Amadi

The background in a selfie can make or mar it. If you have taken a bomb selfie only to notice that the background is a bit rough and it can’t be cropped out, blur it as Ifeoma Amadi did in this cute selfie.

 

4. Know your angles like Tracee Ellis Ross

Everyone has specific angles that make them look great in selfies. However, some people have not found the angles that work for them.

You can do this by taking a bunch of selfies in different angles and with different poses to find the one that works best for you. Just keep at it, you would find that angle.

5. Say Cheese like Linda Ejiofor

 

Happy girls are truly the prettiest. Nothing brightens up a selfie like a genuine smile. Whatever expression you decide to use in your selfies, make sure that it is genuine. Also, try to get in the mood before the shutter clicks.
