Aren’t there those times when we are trying to capture that perfect selfie? Like when the makeup you applied ended up making you look a hundred times better than you actually are, or when you are beautifully sun-kissed, or on that day when your hair has that extra-bounce. Or when your current profile picture is already a month old! Yea…that’s a major problem isn’t it?

Well, it seems like you have come to the right place. Bollywood photographer Dabboo Ratnani has shared seven secrets behind that perfect selfie that would get you all those likes on Instagram.

Check them out:


1. Before clicking, turn around and see where the light looks most flattering. Usually soft light works best for selfies.


2. Experiment with the angles of your face. Try tilting to face your better profile and keep checking the screen to know which angle works best for you.


3. Use the timer as that helps keep the hand steady as there’s no need to click. That helps in taking a good quality picture.


4. Play with your face. Throw in different moods and expressions like smiling, pouting, sticking out the tongue, opening your eyes wide and bring variety to the pictures.



5. If you want a compact selfie, don’t hold the phone close to your face. Instead, get a perfect click and then crop it, or else zoom in and click.



6. Selfie sticks always work the magic. Hey capture more of the background and make the picture look rich. It also captures more of you and it looks like someone else took the image from the front.


7.The final trick is to feel good about yourself, as happiness and love for yourself shows in the picture and makes the picture all the more better.
