Everyone has a smartphone these days and apart from all the apps it has to offer, the one thing people look for in a phone is a good quality camera. Because who doesn't like to take selfies, right? But just because you have a decent phone doesn't mean you can take decent selfies. After all, not everyone is a pro at taking photos.
Experts suggest that if you're unsure of how to take a good selfie, one thing that might really help is to tilt your head slightly or position your face sideways. Doing simple things like these can help make your photos look a lot better. The experts also suggested that it's best to try and take pictures in natural lights. Using your phone's flash can make the best photo look awful.
“Taking photos in the dark is hard, and it may be tempting to use your phone’s flash. But flash photography often makes a selfie look washed out, and you can lose your background, or add glare to your face,” said an expert. “Using photography’s ‘Rule of Thirds’ can help you snap a great picture, by bringing the focus of your photo to the area in an image where your eye naturally falls,” she added.
The 'Rule of Thirds' states that a subject should not be placed in the centre of the photo as this will help the person use the negative space behind effectively. “The subtle blur on Portrait Mode can help you pop against the background of your selfie. While editing apps are great, make sure you still look like yourself after you snap your selfie,” she concluded. Stay tuned for more updates.
