Modern life is unimaginable without social networks and Instagram. And Instagram, in turn, is hard to imagine without a selfie. Have you ever looked in the mirror and thought you look amazing right now. Take the phone, turn on the camera, take a photo and… see an unattractive face. No, this is not a mirror deceiving you, you just do not know how to take successful selfies. Do you want to get good at “yourself"? Then you have come to the right place.<\/p>\n

What to pay attention to<\/h2>\n

If you want to capture not only the face, but also the body, then you need a photographer. Otherwise, you will look disgusting in the photo. Imagine what your facial expression will be at the moment when you are trying to focus on getting the figure into the frame, and you also need to pull in your stomach, chest forward, style your hair, smile, and in addition to everything, you will try to pull your hand away like can be further.<\/p>\n

If you decide to take a selfie, then focus on three things: face, hair, background.<\/p>\n

\"Learning<\/a><\/p>\n

Pick your lighting<\/h2>\n

The best shots are taken in sunlight. And the most unfortunate – with artificial. In the bathroom or in a room with poor lighting, your skin turns yellowish or just too dark.<\/p>\n

By the way, if you are a fan of evening photos, you can buy yourself a special daylight lamp. They are used by bloggers and makeup artists.<\/p>\n

Pose and background<\/h2>\n

Photos in the bathroom are often unsuccessful. After all, no matter how you look, if a toilet bowl gets into the frame, consider it a failure.<\/p>\n

If you want the focus of the photo to fall on you, you should not choose a cheerful multi-colored background. Try to keep it uniform. It can be either a forest, or the sea, or an ordinary building.<\/p>\n

The position, or rather, the position of the hand in which you hold the phone, should be chosen based on how your face looks more advantageous. Try taking a photo of yourself from above, then take a photo with your phone straight in front of you, then try from below. If you have a massive chin, you can not try from below, because this position of the camera will emphasize this.<\/p>\n

If you decide to take a photo in a swimsuit or in a sweater with a neckline, it is better to hold the phone from above.<\/p>\n

Be relaxed<\/h2>\n

The calmer you are in the photo, the better it will turn out. If it's hard for you to hold the phone or reach the “photo” button with your finger, this will certainly be displayed in the frame.<\/p>\n

If you do not have enough arm length to fit in the frame, a monopod (selfie stick) can come to your aid.<\/p>\n

Harmony in the image<\/h2>\n

Selfies are a way to show yourself to the world at your best. However, you need to be able to compare your image with the area around you. For example, if you are taking a photo on the beach, then the perfect make-up and hairstyle will look ridiculous.<\/p>\n

A variety of stylish accessories will help to add spectacularity to the frame. For example, sunglasses, hat, scarf around the neck, etc.<\/p>\n

Photo correction<\/h2>\n

Do you really believe that so many beautiful photos on Instagram come out by themselves and there is no photoshop on them? What's stopping you from lightly editing your shot?<\/p>\n

Increase the volume of the hair, give a little juiciness to the lips, emphasize the eyes with the help of light correction, etc. Believe me, this will only add to the number of likes for you.<\/p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
