Bedroom selfie ideas

How To Take a Great Selfie In Bed

Let’s get one thing clear right off the bat: We’re not talking about R-rated bed selfies here. No racy lingerie, okay?

But hey, that doesn’t mean you can’t have fun with your bed selfie.

In fact, if you’re looking for that chic, sultry bed selfie that’s so popular on social media, bringing a more natural and elegant feel to your selfie is going to do much more for you than doing anything that you’d want to hide from your Granny (you know what I mean).

Today I’m going to give you all the tips you need to master the bed selfie. Are you ready?

1) Know your angles

First things first, when you’re shooting a selfie in bed, know your angles. Please.

Don't drop your face into your pillow. Sooooo not cute. Instead, play with angles. A pop socket tends to be useful in these moments to help you avoid dropping your phone on your face (been there, done that).

Shoot from above, pull the covers up to just your eyes and shoot direct on, or even try sitting up and shooting downwards. The most important thing here is that your face looks on point, but also make sure it’s clear that you’re taking your selfie in bed. Otherwise, well, what’s the point of even being in bed, ya know?

2) Shoot with the light

When you’re shooting a selfie in bed, for the best results, I would suggest shooting with the morning light (i.e. have light streaming across the bed).

Not only does this give the selfie a more natural vibe, it also feels fresh, feminine, and, well, chic.

Because really, if the morning light is not there, let’s be real, it probably just looks like you crawled into bed at 2 pm for a little cat nap, or you’re strictly shooting there just to get a selfie. Neither option is great tbh.

3) Let followers use their imagination

As I said, I’m not trying to give out any R-rated advice, but that doesn’t mean you can’t have a little fun with your bed selfie.

Maybe bring the covers all the way up to your shoulders, indicating that you have nothing on underneath, but without actually showing off the goods.

Or hey, opt for that pajama top that shows off your midriff, or that hangs loosely off your shoulder.

Trust me, you don’t have to show it all to get people’s attention in a bed selfie.

4) Utilize a mirror

We’re all about a good mirror selfie, and if you’ve got a mirror across from your bed, utilize it. Not only will this really help solidify that you are, in fact, in bed, but it’s also great if you don’t want to get up close and personal with your bare face in the a.m.

Your face doesn’t need to be on full display to get a good pic.

5) Go for the “I woke up like this” look

Speaking of the face…

If you really want your bed selfie to look authentic, it’s best if you embrace your inner Beyonce and go with the “I woke up like this” look.

While we can’t all have the smooth, radiant skin that Queen B has, we can fake it ‘til we make it.

Yup, you’re reading that correctly. I’m suggesting getting out of bed, reaching for your best-tinted moisturizer, throwing on some light mascara, and running a brush through your hair.

You definitely don’t want to look like you did this, but a little (secret) primping never hurt anyone.

(Facetune2 helps, too! ;) )

6) Two is better than one

And lastly, when you're unsure about how to get the likes on a bed selfie, add in a partner.

Boyfriend, girlfriend, husband, wife… Whatever the deal, a spicy moment between two people in bed is guaranteed to get people’s attention.

And hey, if you want to make that bed selfie more “cute" than saucy, snap a pic with your child or pet.

Even snap the selfie while your partner is sleeping. This makes for a vibe that's a mix of tender and natural.

No matter how well-versed you are in turning that front camera around, we consulted with some Instagram influencers to share their top thirst trap tips. Trust, you’re beautiful without photographic evidence, but if you're looking for the pointers on how to memorialize that gorgeousness, or if you need some assistance accentuating your curves and getting to know your ~angles~, then look no further. For the sake of your social feed (and your spine health), you'll want to peep these photo pointers and sexy selfie ideas before your next solo photoshoot.

First, let’s start with some selfie inspo:

Now, for some thirst trap tips:

1. Clean that front camera.

First things first: A blurry pic is the exact opposite of what you want. Make sure that there's no dust or grime getting in the way of your perfect shot. A microfiber cloth will do the trick, and to avoid issues, try not to touch your front cam with your fingertips.

2. Utilize the focus tool.

Fun fact: Smartphones are pretty, well, smart. That's why the camera app features dozens of ways to fiddle around with lighting and focus. Play around with these options by simply tapping the center of the screen before you snap a pic. After all, *you* should be focus, not your unmade bed.

3. Don't overthink things.

Hesitation is only going to hold you back. Take as many shots at once and asses the best later, rather than stopping and checking to make sure you hit the pose after each one. Plus, if you have an IG husband taking your pics, this will ensure that they stay committed to their photography duties.

4. Shoot from an angle.

Instagram influencer Stephanie Yeboah recommends taking photos at an angle as opposed to face-on to create a sense of intimacy. “I prefer a high-above angle, as it’s easier to fit in the silhouette of your body,” she says.

5. Your legs are way more powerful than you’d think.

Jessica Wu, a stylist, producer, and model, explains that alternating your leg stance in a few different shots can help your odds of finding the ~perfect~ snap in your camera roll upon review. “I tend to alternate my leg stances a few different times to get multiple angles—having a wider stance, putting one leg out to the side or in front of the other, and standing with your feet together are usually flattering,” she explains.

6. Arch! That! Back!

This simple move makes your booty pop while accentuating your waist, explains Sam Feher, Cosmopolitan’s own editorial assistant (and an Instagram influencer in her own right). “In this photo, I’m angling my upper body away from the camera too, so it makes my butt/thighs look thicker than my waist, which is fuay [ed note: this means hot].”

7. Utilize windows and mirrors.

Windows and mirrors are your best friends! Says Yeboah, “I find posing in front of—or on the side of—a window with the sun streaming in creates an almost ethereal glow that promotes an innocent-yet-sexy aesthetic. Investing in an oversize white shirt helps too.”

8. Stand on your tiptoes.

“It makes your legs look ridiculously long,” says Feher. Another way of elongating your gams? Tilt the photo forward from the bottom. Wearing shoes that are the same color as your legs or pants also helps with the illusion that your legs are 30 percent longer.

9. Shoot from below.

Seriously: It makes you look taller! While common sense might seem like it’s better to shoot from above, Feher says that photos angled above can turn out wonky. Yeboah agrees, saying that she prefers to shoot from below to give the illusion of added height.

10. Take selfies from under your face to accentuate your jawline.

While this might’ve previously been thought of as a double-chin angle, if you jut your chin out dramatically, it makes your jawline look ridiculously sharp. How 'bout them angles?

11. Natural lighting is always best.

The only thing that compares is a quality ring light, says Feher. If you don’t feel like traveling with a whole other tech accessory, natural lighting is your BFF.

12. Golden-hour shots are a lot easier when you plan ahead.

Explains influencer Shaunda Necole, the best lighting is just as the sun is rising or during “golden hour” right before the sun sets. She recommends the Golden Hour app, which allows you to input your location to find the exact window of time for optimal photo-taking.

13. Put one hand in your pocket.

If you're unsure of what to do with your hands, Wu recommends placing one on your waist or in your pocket. Still stumped? Run your fingers lightly through your hair (after all, these are *sexy* selfies we're talking about here!) ¯\_(ツ)_/¯.

14. Posture is everything.

Sorry to sound like a school marm for a hot sec, but you’re here for a crash course in thirst-trap photography, so bear with me. Stick your collarbones out for any photos so your spine is aligned as straight as possible for the best pic.

15. When it comes to sexy poses, it’s all about the hip tilt.

A post shared by SAM FEHER (@samanthafeher)

Putting one foot in front of the other makes your hips tilt and can make you look curvier while also elongating your legs, says Feher. “That’s my go-to because it’s fast, looks natural, and you can pull it off in public places without getting anyone else in your photo.”

16. Always hype up your photographer, especially if you’re feeling any insecurity or embarrassment for asking them to take 30 bajillion photos.

“My tip for getting over the embarrassment is to ALWAYS hype up my friend first and be like, ‘You look like sex, lemme get a pic,’ and then they’re so embarrassed that they make me do it, even if that was my original goal all along,” says Feher. You get to boost someone else’s self-esteem, take cool photos of your friends, and get the photos you wanted all along. It costs literally nothing. Adds Wu, “If you focus on the person taking your photo and don’t get distracted by people walking by, you’ll definitely get better photos! I usually ignore people who snoop or take photos and just focus on the camera.”

17. For brighter colors, go with C1 on VSCO.

Download VSCO for iOS and Android.

For the trendy orangey one that’s in right now, Feher suggests Lightroom presets from your favorite influencers. What better way to skip right to the finish line than by using an influencer-approved filter?

18. Don’t bother importing your DSLR pics into your phone just to edit with VSCO.

“Lightroom is better for camera/DSLR photos,” says Feher, whereas she prefers editing in VSCO for iPhone photos.

19. Chipped mani?

No problem. There’s no need to spend money getting a new manicure or taking the time to remove all your polish when there’s an easy, free fix. Feher says to use the color picker/airbrush tool on Facetune to fill in the spots where you’re missing color.

Download Facetune for iOS and Android.

20. Find the right framing.

Feher says one of her rules for photos is that she won’t zoom or crop. “It makes the picture look weird and f*cks with the quality,” she explains. So it’s worth taking the time to figure out the perfect framing before shooting, so you don’t have to do too much work fixing/editing/cropping afterward.

🤳 How beautiful to get a selfie on Instagram? 10 secrets of the perfect selfie at home

Content of article

Every girl can take a beautiful selfie for Instagram, which will collect hundreds of likes. And let it seem that the secrets of a beautiful selfie are known only to bloggers. I will prove to you that it is not.

In this article I will tell you what you need for a selfie and how to pose on the phone. And what should be avoided to make a really good photo. Only working and useful advice - everything is like in Alexander Slyadnev's photography school.

Wipe the phone's camera

Tip in the style of Captain Obvious? Believe the old sea wolf (experienced photographer) - a good half of bad selfies turn out to be unsuccessful precisely because of a dirty smartphone camera. Remember where your phone goes during the day. A women's bag is generally a portal to another dimension. There, the camera of the phone is in contact with things that the owner does not even know about. So make it a rule for yourself: before taking a picture, wipe your phone camera with a special microfiber cloth or just a dry paper handkerchief.

Find a place with good lighting

Good light is a must for any good photo. For example, famous Instagrammers like to take selfies in the bedroom in the morning light. Light walls and white linens help create beautiful lighting even on a cloudy day. So stand facing a window and you'll get the best lighting you can get at home without equipment.

Don't take selfies in the bathroom with bright yellow or sickly white artificial light. Artificial lighting often gives the face an unhealthy tint, we don’t need it, right? If you want to always have a beautiful light at hand, buy a selfie ring lamp. It does not take up much space, is mounted on a smartphone and is inexpensive. You could see similar lamps at beauty-masters, in hairdressing salons. Just do not set the brightness of such a lamp to the maximum. Harmony is what matters for the perfect selfie.

Find your angle

You may have heard from actors or TV presenters that there is a "work profile" or "work side". This is a good angle from which the face looks as attractive as possible. Find your good angle and you will forever forget about bad selfies.

You don't know which angle is best for you? Stand in front of a mirror, smile at yourself and make sure you are beautiful. And give yourself an hour of narcissism - take selfies until you have several hundred photos. I promise, among all the selfies, you will find an angle that you like. It remains only to remember this magical angle.

And don't be shy about the fact that most of the photos on your Instagram will be from the same angle. Look at bloggers' social media accounts. Most just know their good angles. Therefore, most of the photos were taken from one angle. Makeup, hairstyle, clothes and furnishings are changing. A good angle is unchanged.

Make bright makeup

Just don't take this advice literally, please. If you don’t wear bright scarlet lipstick in everyday life and have never tried smoky eyes, then ... try it! Do you want to take a beautiful selfie? The front camera of a modern smartphone often “eats” bright colors.

Add accessories

Hundreds of amazing selfies can be taken at home. And even within one day. Accessories will help. Bring everything: hats, berets, a fan, glasses (you can even take grandmother's), jewelry, scarves and scarves. Deliver a beautiful cup, glass. Fill with coffee or wine. Improvise, experiment! Have fun shooting. Your sincere emotions will help to get great memories and photos.

Hair hack: how to make your hair voluminous

Many times I have seen girls worry about styling during a photo shoot. They tease the curls, trying to make the hairstyle more voluminous. For you, a simple life hack that all bloggers use: just flip your hair to one side. This trick works even if there is no comb at hand and the hair is no longer as fresh as at the beginning of the photo shoot. So flip your hair to one side and turn to the camera with your good angle - the photo will turn out great.

Choose the right clothes

If you need to take a beautiful selfie, it is better to leave a leopard print dress or a jacket in all shades of the rainbow in the closet. Simple, eye-pleasing colors are what you need. Of course, choose clothes that you feel comfortable in.

Don't forget to straighten up and relax

How to make a beautiful selfie? Straighten your neck, relax your shoulders. This will help you look relaxed in the photo, the picture will turn out more natural. Be sure to try to take the photo so that the neck also gets into the frame and you look short. If the neck is retracted or tightly closed by a collar, it will ruin even the best angle.

Use the Instagram camera

Instagram's built-in filters often spoil photos. But the Instagram camera can be very useful for selfies - it does not mirror pictures. Have you noticed that when you take a selfie, you like your angle, but after the picture is taken, you no longer like it? This is because the standard smartphone front camera mirrors pictures. The Instagram camera does not.

Don't get too carried away with photo editing

Nothing ruins a photo like excessive retouching. Waxy skin, distorted facial features, unnatural colors - not the result you want, right? Retouching should be neat, imperceptible. Do not process selfies in +100 applications. A little processing in one application is enough to make the photo look great.

tips for photographers. The best selfie ideas. How to look to get the best self-portrait

This type of entertainment is not popular. Unfortunately, the poses for a selfie-style photo shoot are quite limited. This is due to the fact that you can only take a selfie in front of a mirror surface or with the help of an outstretched hand. The same type of pictures of girls with duck lips look quite boring. If there is a goal to fill your account with high-quality and interesting photos, you should learn the best selfie poses and some shooting rules.

Attention, shooting!

When taking a selfie without mirrors with your arm outstretched, only the face and chest are usually visible in the frame. It is quite logical that the poses for it must be selected so that the eyes look expressive, and the shape of the chest is not distorted. To do this, the head should be tilted slightly to look at the camera not directly, but at an angle. At the same time, the back should be even, and the chin slightly raised (you don’t want to see wrinkles on your neck?). Photos taken from the front are very rarely successful, as the camera enlarges the nose. You can avoid this effect if you place the camera not in front of your face, but above your head. In addition, this approach allows you to create interesting poses for selfies, because in the frame you will see not only the face, but also the environment.

Girls like to take pictures of themselves in the company of their friends. Shooting with an outstretched hand is not suitable for this purpose, since it is not so easy to fit two faces in the frame without cropping. The best solution would be a mirror surface. Poses for a selfie with a girlfriend or girlfriends in front of the mirror can be anything! Jump, make funny faces, smile, hug each other, enjoy sipping a cocktail through a straw! The main thing is that in the frame you look as natural as possible. Cool selfie poses always look better than staged ones with forced smiles and fake emotions. You can experiment with several mirrors. Doubled and even tripled image looks original.

Selfie lovers, who periodically delight their page subscribers with beautiful pictures, use a simple trick. Having experimented at home in front of a mirror, they memorize the most advantageous position, and then slightly modify it. Not a bad option!

Little tricks

Even the most beautiful selfie poses won't be appreciated by viewers if you don't take care of the right lighting. Light can also emphasize the beauty of the skin, the shine of the hair, skillfully executed makeup, and finally spoil the impression. In a dark room, selfies are blurry, grainy, and a shadow will definitely be noticeable on the face, which will not add beauty. The best selfie poses involve good direct lighting. The best option is sunlight that falls on the model's face.

Particular attention should be paid to the quality of makeup. Even if there is a desire to look as natural as possible, gloss on the lips and a thin layer of mascara on the eyelashes will not hurt. Bright red, pale pink and purple lipstick looks good on a selfie. The highlighter will save from dark circles under the eyes. It is better to collect hair in a ponytail or a bun so that it does not cover the face, unless, of course, some mystery and mystery is not part of the idea.

Fantasize with poses, change the scenery, have fun, and then the selfie is guaranteed to get more than one hundred "likes"!

We think the selfie originated 5-6 years ago when smartphones were equipped with this function. In fact, they appeared at the same time that the first camera was invented.

The initial "self-images" were taken in a mirror with an apparatus mounted on a tripod. After 100 years, technology has made it possible to move away from the mirror and experiment with self-photography.

A lot of selfies are posted online. How to make a frame look original and bright among many similar ones? The proposed selfie poses for girls will help solve this problem.

Take care of your appearance. I think it is superfluous to remind you that the hair must be clean, do not build a "Tower of Babel" on your head, on the contrary. the more natural the hairstyle, the better the picture will come out. Makeup differs from everyday makeup with a bright accent, here it is advisable to study the pros and cons of your appearance, if you have beautiful lips, make them brighter.
Choose a background. It happens that you look at photos of girls taken at home. The girl is charming, and in the back there is a Soviet-style wall, boxes, all sorts of rubbish. The impression is not the most positive. Let the good old carpet on the wall be better. Joke. Interesting shots are obtained in nature, because the sky, water bodies, plants are a wonderful backdrop for photographs.

Beautiful selfie poses and how to take a selfie.

Classic pose. We photograph the head, neck, optionally capture the shoulders. To look attractive in such a photo, follow the turn of your head. An ideal angle of 35-45 degrees, in this position, the chin line looks expressive. It is better not to shoot in full face, you risk looking inharmonious.

Head tilted to one side. The photo is taken even in full face, even in profile. Play with your shoulders, wink or close your eyes, smile. The main thing here is to follow the direction of the light so that it falls on the face, then a shine will appear in the eyes, and the skin tone will become even.

"Better view from above". Interesting pictures are obtained if you hold the camera above your head. The figure looks slimmer, the eyes are more expressive. Surrounding objects are included in the frame. Do you have a luxurious neckline? Then choose this angle! Most importantly, do not forget to keep your back straight, slightly stretching your neck.

Tilt back. This pose is used to capture the "fifth point". To make your buttocks look more attractive, arch your back, then bend forward slightly. In this position, it is better to shoot from the top down or from the side. The first method is suitable if this part of the body is appetizing in size, but if you cannot boast of magnificent volumes, it remains to increase the deflection and experiment with changing the position of the camera.

Bottom-up. The pose is quite popular. One caveat - you can’t lower your head down, you risk getting a second chin, even if you didn’t have one. Keep your head straight or slightly up. In this position, facial features are not so clearly visible, but the picture promises to be memorable.

Standing. Such shots look advantageous in the “arm on the side” or “bending one leg” position. This position is suitable for those who want to show off new dresses or shoes.

Sexy selfie secrets

What girl can do without a sexy selfie? Correctly! None! But looking at such pictures, you are often afraid of courage and shamelessness. How to take a sexy selfie, not a vulgar one?

For a sexy selfie, you have to learn a few rules:

And a few words about lighting when creating a sexy selfie. Here, experts - masters of photography and photoshop - advise taking selfies in advance in good lighting, rather than uploading them to the network or sending your favorite photo of a figure at sunset with a distortion of light and outlines. Therefore, sexy pictures are created in any suitable environment - in bed against the background of silk linen and plain walls, in the kitchen at breakfast while no one sees, in the bathroom during the shower. It is the morning or daytime with natural light that makes it possible to take gorgeous pictures of the sexy body. Artificial lamps require a careful approach and certain knowledge of the incidence of a beam of light on your body.

These are good selfie poses. Try, fantasize, choose! What if, as a result of the search, you find something special, then such a selfie will not be lost in the millions of pictures that flood social networks.

How to make a selfie (selfie), which will gain the maximum number of likes and will be original and unique. Today, selfies are an integral part of social networks. What is a selfie and how to take it?

Secrets of a successful selfie

The first and perhaps most important thing to pay attention to is proper lighting. The best option is natural lighting, which illuminates the subject as well as possible.

It is very important to choose the right makeup so that the photo is clear and the glare from pearly eye shadows and lip gloss does not create a blurry and tired effect. Selfies without makeup are becoming more and more popular among Hollywood stars.

Also relevant are photos showing a fashionable bow, for example, completely from denim. The original will be a photo in which the girl can offer several ideas , for what a small pocket on jeans.

Today, photography has become a way of presenting and promoting oneself, one's art or business. We take pictures to capture moments in life or develop our own business, but in many situations it is easier and faster to take a picture of ourselves without outside help. Who knows better than you how to shoot you, especially if you use all the tricks of a successful selfie. So, what are these secrets that will help you look beautiful in the photo?

1. Light

The right light is at least 60% of success. With good lighting, your face looks its best and the image quality is as good as possible. The ideal light is moderately bright and diffused. At home, it is best to shoot while facing the window. If on this day the scorching sun, you can curtain the window with light tulle, which will soften the rays. Outdoor photos are best taken on a bright but cloudy day. Clouds scatter light in the same way as tulle. Indoors, it is good when the light source is slightly to the side and above eye level, but electric lighting loses to natural.

2. Angle

Of course, you need to build on your appearance. You probably already noticed when you are at your best. If not, try shooting yourself, changing the position of your face a little with each frame. In most cases, the most successful angles are considered to be a 3/4 turn of the head and shooting from above or slightly above, i.e. The phone must be above eye level. Be sure to catch the light and don't turn against it. Many studies on facial asymmetry have found that the left side often looks fresher and younger. Check which side of your face is "working". Better not film yourself from below. The risk of getting a second chin and a wide face is too great. A very good shot can be obtained by slightly tilting the phone itself. In this way, you direct the viewer's eye in the picture in a slightly different way, which can play into your hands.

3. Make-up

Be sure to mask minor skin imperfections and bruises under the eyes. Usually the camera of the phone betrays them treacherously. Beautiful skin is the best way to create a pleasant photographic impression. Ideally, you can do a complete make-up. It is good to highlight the skin with concealer or highlighter. To make the face not look flat, you can highlight the cheekbones. Very spectacular shots are obtained if you focus on the lips, choosing a bright lipstick. Too lazy to paint? Put on beautiful sunglasses in a shape that suits you and emphasize your lips.

4. Image

It's good if you remember some detail. Earrings, necklaces, glasses and other accessories can make a very stylish selfie. Jessica Alba, for example, loves to take photos in hats.

5. Facial expression

It's better to forget about duckface and smile nicely. Even when you're not smiling with your mouth, use the Tyra Banks trick and smile with your eyes. The emotion in the picture makes it very attractive. Take selfies whenever you're in the mood. So the photos will turn out as natural as possible.

6. Background

Avoid shots with a messy background, gloomy passers-by and just those who want to ruin your photo. If something like this happened, and there is no way to re-photograph it, treat it with humor and write something funny under the photo. It’s also good if your outstretched hand does not get into the frame. In most cases, this looks out of place.

7. Filters and retouching

The better the image quality (see point 1), the more opportunities to process it. Very often, in the process of processing, the photo loses quality and the initially weak frame does not get better after retouching. Filters are more efficient. You can highlight the face or add an interesting effect. With a high quality image, you can do everything in combination, successfully retouch and add a filter.

8. More views and likes

If you want to get more likes and views, the time of publication matters. Usually bursts of activity occur around 7-9 am, when users wake up and check the phone, 11-13, during work breaks and at 17-18, after the end of the working day. Posting a photo at midnight our time, the target audience will be America. Popular hashtags will also draw the attention of fans of the relevant topics.

How often do you take selfies? What do you do to get good photos?

In the era of mobile phones with high-quality cameras, it is difficult to find a person who has never photographed himself in his life. Some shots are excellent, while others leave much to be desired. Many people ask: how to take selfies for girls? A few secrets will make you look great in the photo.

Selfie poses for girls

Position in the frame plays the main role. This needs to be taken into account when thinking about how to take a selfie correctly. All angles should be divided into several types:

Full face . The emphasis is on the face, shoulders, chest can get into the frame. Choosing this selfie pose involves makeup that evens out the skin and the right hairstyle;

Half face

Half face . If beautiful selfie poses were built according to aesthetics, this option would take the lead. This angle will make the face already, emphasize the look and highlight the lips;

Profile . Bold enough: the outline of the face is highlighted, the cheeks and nose are enlarged. The eyes are lost and the ears come to the fore;

Top view selfie

Top view . When choosing cool poses for a selfie, it is worth stopping at this option: the emphasis moves to the eyes. Do not forget about a good background;

Full length selfie.

Full length. It is worth resorting to a similar pose when there is a beautiful landscape or attraction nearby.

All of the listed cool selfie poses are actively used by girls to create pictures that will collect a lot of likes from subscribers.

Best Selfie Poses

But the above angles are not a panacea and will not provide the perfect shot, no matter the circumstances. If a girl does not understand how to take a selfie, she should take note of the listed angles and try them on herself near the mirror. A kind of “rehearsal” will allow you to find the most successful angles for a particular person, choose the best poses, and at the same time find out the “working” sides from which it is worth taking pictures.

It is necessary to take care that no one and nothing extra is left in the frame. It is unlikely that home clutter or gloomy passers-by will be able to decorate the photo, even if the main subject looks perfect.

Good selfie poses with a girlfriend

There can be more than one person in the frame. When planning to take a photo portrait with a friend, many do not know how to fit together organically so that all the girls “fit” into the frame and do not have to crop anything. The most common pose in this case is the “cheek to cheek” option. The smartphone must be placed at a distance and from above: this ensures the most advantageous angle.

You can take a photo at a distance when one of the friends is further away than the other. One of the variations is a photo from above, which also provides an advantageous angle.

Fashion poses for a selfie with a loved one

Pictures of a couple in a lying position look cute. The most popular photos were taken in the style of "follow me". The girl in this case comes to the fore, leading her partner by the hand. However, the young man can also try on the role of the leader.
