1. The Rule Of Thirds
Remember to place your face towards the top right or top left corner of the frame so that your eye line falls somewhere around the one third of the frame from the top. Composition of a photograph is important. Yes, even if it is a selfie! And while it sounds like too much of an effort, it truly is worth the calculations!
2. Don’t Want To Appear Too Narcissistic? Click With Both Hands!
An awkward hand jutting out to capture your pretty face doesn’t look that great most of the times. Try using both your hands. A lot less awkward and a much more stable picture! Also, you can crop the picture easily and remove your arms from the frame. In fact, the show of both your arms just makes you appear less narcissistic and more like you’re having fun!
3. Do Away With Crowded Backgrounds
Noise should always be reduced while clicking a photograph (anything which is not a subject of the story that you are trying to tell through your photograph is noise). It takes away from the charm of your picture and is more of a disturbance. Try avoiding such noisy or crowded backgrounds. Solid colored walls and textured curtains make for good backgrounds.
4. Try To Use The Back Camera As Often As Possible
The back camera mostly has a better resolution and hence leads to better looking pictures. In case you find it difficult to manage a selfie with the back camera, make use of the timer in your phone. You know it’s there for a reason.
5. Attempt To Compose Your Photos With Tones Of Blue And Beige Instead Of Red Or Green
Blue and Beige backgrounds make your selfie look far more appealing as compared to hues of red or ocher. Dark colors usually ruin the story behind your selfies. Also, according to Instagram data, people like photos which contain earthy tones get more engagement than reds and greens.
6. Click With Your Friends Or Pets
You look better when you are clicking with people you love or your pet. You start smiling naturally. And not just from your lips, but from your eyes. It also adds a story to your selfie, making it way more interesting than a regular solo selfie.
7. Flip Your Hair
Wonder how those breezy pictures are clicked? Just flip your hair. It’ll help you add volume to your locks and give an instant life to your photo. It adds a natural look to your hair and makes you look even better!!
