How to Take a Selfie

Find Good Lighting

Lighting is super important when taking a selfie. Try to face natural light sources, like windows, or go outside to get the best light. This helps you avoid harsh shadows and makes your face look bright and clear. Remember, good lighting can make a big difference in how your selfie turns out!

Experiment with Angles

Don’t be afraid to try different angles and poses. Move your phone around to see which angle makes you look your best. You can tilt your head, smile, or even make a funny face to show off your personality. The more you experiment, the more you’ll discover what works for you!

Use the Rule of Thirds

The rule of thirds is a cool trick to make your selfies look more interesting. Imagine your photo is divided into nine equal parts by two horizontal and two vertical lines. Try to position yourself slightly off-center, where the lines intersect. This makes your selfie more visually appealing and dynamic!
