How to take a perfect selfie with my phone?

Here are some techniques to note if you want to take a great selfie with your phone.

The first technique to consider is **lighting**. Favor natural light as much as possible. Turn your face towards a light source to eliminate unwanted shadows.

However, make sure the light does not blur part of the image. For this, avoid rooms that are too dark and rooms that are too bright!

Next, find the right angle. For this, you just need to hold your phone at face height, or even a bit higher to avoid the image showing a double chin. **Don’t hold the phone too far away either.**

Take a good position and look directly at the camera lens. Eyes looking down or up, it’s not really chic!

Strike a nice pose, and press the shutter button!

What expression to make in a selfie?

When taking selfies, we tend to smile, which can give our photos a joyful look. However, know that we can also **play with our mood** to give a more original touch to our selfies.

In a collage of 3 photos, for example, we can stay natural in the first image to create a more original mood. In the second, we can give a slight smile, and in the last, we can wink and stick out our tongue.

However, even if we have fun, we should not **exaggerate too much** in our gestures. Let’s highlight our personality and be more natural!
