How to Take Perfect Holiday Selfies
Taking selfies is one of the most popular activities nowadays. You can take a photo of yourself using a high-end or mobile phone camera. Social networking sites are flooded with selfie pictures from ordinary people, celebrities, and even politicians. However, selfie-snapping is an art, and there are things you should consider capturing that perfect holiday selfie. Below are some tips to get you started.
Use phones with dual front-rear cameras – taking pictures with top compact cameras is best. However, they may not always be available. One can use dual front-rear camera phones instead of a regular camera where you are blindly aiming the camera at you and hoping for the best shot. Also, ensure your camera phone is set in the best light.
Search for the right look – style yourself in a way that you are natural, comfortable, and appropriate. A touch of light makeup combined with the right outfit will do. Avoid taking selfies in the bathroom! Most people nowadays commit this mistake. No one would take a memorable holiday selfie in the bathroom.
Find your angles – spend some time finding your best grades with mobile phones or cameras. Some curves are flattering and can display your features and best assets well. A tip from professional models; hold the camera slightly above and tilt it down at about a 45-degree angle. It also helps to zoom your lens out, not in. All your flaws will stick out with a super close-up shot.
Use a selfie stick: A selfie stick can help you get a better angle and distance for your photo. Just be sure to use it safely and not disturb other people around you.
Good lighting – depending on your selfie’s look, you can take a picture with gorgeous sunlight or from romantic lighting using top compact cameras. However, taking holiday selfies in a room with fluorescent lighting is not advisable, or it will emphasise the dark circles under your eyes.
Use a good filter – there are several apps available, like Instagram. It is now relatively easy to add some filters to your Holiday selfies, and it helps perfect the tone you are trying to achieve. You can also add some artistic flourishes.
Show your personality: Don’t be afraid to show off your personality and have fun with your selfie. Smile, make silly faces, or strike a pose that reflects your mood and the holiday spirit.
Edit and enhance: After taking your selfie, you can use editing apps to adjust brightness, contrast, and colour saturation to enhance your photo. However, be careful not to over-edit and lose the natural look of your image.
