Self-portrait photography has become such a popular fad these days that clicking a perfect one has almost become an art. Nowadays everyone is constantly updating the social media with their latest selfies, and the recurrent uploads have virtually turned into a competition. Everyone wants to click the best selfie there is.
Therefore, we bring you 10 tricks and hacks to click the perfect selfie. Here you go:
DIY a smartphone stand
Your sunglasses are the perfect stand for your smartphone. Other than that, a cassette stand, books, a bottle, can also act as a support for your phone.
Drop a perfect background
Many a times when you click a selfie, you concentrate too much on yourself and forget your background. Use a thread, lace or a rope to drop a nice background using bedsheets or wallpapers and hide the mess of your bedroom.
Score an angle
You need to know your angle to click a good selfie. For most people, holding the phone slightly above the nose level works the best.
Closer the bigger
It’s a rule that the closer you hold the camera lens to a particular feature, the bigger it would look. Therefore if you want your eyes to stand out, hold the lens closer to your eyes. However, be careful to not go overboard with it, as it can really make you look like an alien.
The magic words
Saying cheese will clicking a picture is not jut a cliché, but it is boring and the smile doesn’t look natural at all. Instead you can say “mocha” for a pretty smile, or “prune” for you pouty lip.
Mirror mirror on the wall
The front cameras of a smartphone are mostly not as powerful as the primary cameras. Therefore, use your rear camera to click your selfie, and stand in front of a mirror or use another device to see how the picture is coming out to be.
Earphone selfie
This is a really cool hack! If you don’t like your hands showing in your selfie. Attach your earphones to your smartphone and use the volume button to click a picture!
Know the light
Pictures come out really well when they are clicked an hour before a sunset. Called the golden hour by professional photographers, the sunset lights are a natural filter for your selfie.
The dark night
If you are clicking a selfie in the dark, ask your friend to switch on their torch and flash the light on your faces.
Mind the fuel
Constantly using the camera can really easily drain out your smartphone’s battery. So make sure you carry your portable charger at all times or your switch your phone to the airplane mode during the photography session.
