1. Know Your Best Angles:<\/strong> Is it the right side or the left side? Chin up or chin down? Know your “good side” and take the photo from that side of your face.<\/p>\n 2. Lighting is Everything:<\/strong> You need good lighting. Natural lighting is always best.<\/p>\n 3. Smile Like You Mean It:<\/strong> Flash a real smile and no image will look bad. Natural smiles are always better. A sad face or a frown will not help.<\/p>\n 4. Pose With Something\/Someone New:<\/strong> Perhaps, you just got a new pair of glasses. Or you recently had a new hairstyle… show it off in your selfie. Or if you just met someone new, pose with your new friend.<\/p>\n 5. Take a Full-Body Shot:<\/strong> A full-length mirror works well for this type of selfie shot. Again, angle your body to the left or right, which is generally more flattering than shooting straight on.<\/p>\n 6. Filters\/Editing:<\/strong> Natural is usually better.
