1. If you are worried about the quality of the selfie, get a smartphone with a good camera . Pay attention not only to the number of pixels. It is also important that the camera has optics, flash, shooting speed, how autofocus works. Advanced smartphones even allow you to set the exposure and white balance, which turns them into full-fledged cameras. A suitable gadget will help select reviews of smartphones and reviews of their owners, which abound on the network.
2. The main thing in photography is light . With good lighting, almost any camera can produce a decent quality image, the subject will be brighter, and the color reproduction is better. Conversely, if the light is low, the image may turn out dull. The flash will help here, but you need to use it correctly: position the camera not too close to the object, so as not to overexpose, and not too far so that the frame is not underexposed.
To make a good photo, pay attention to which side of the sun. Stand so that it is opposite you or on the side, and wait until the sun covers the clouds. If the sky is cloudless, find the shadow. The light in these cases will be diffused, and you will not have to squint. The face will have a voluminous cut-off pattern.
If you take a selfie indoors, stand on the side of the window facing it.
3. If the horizon is in the frame, make sure that it passes at the level of your neck or chest. It is also important that he was not overwhelmed and did not divide the frame in half.
4. Try to find some kind of framing for your portrait - window, door, arch. This compositional technique will add depth to the image.
5. Think over your image. Make a fashionable hairstyle and makeup, work with the outfit. The space for fantasy is huge. The location on the background of which you want to capture yourself works for the creation of your image. It can be any extraordinary place: the interior of a trendy restaurant, an old manor, a palace, the roof of a tall building, a sunset horizon, a beautiful natural landscape, and so on.
6. The overwhelming level of narcissism, narcissism, and stupidity, which many self-men often commit sin to, can cause allergies in critical men and a desire to parody such photos. Examples on the Internet abound. The best way to avoid ridicule is a sense of moderation and self-irony in relation to your image. Add humor to your portrait.

If you have a different brand of smartphone, purchase a telescopic monopod, on which you can attach your smartphone. With the help of this stick, as if extending your hand, you increase the angle of shooting. This will put in a frame a large company. Another advantage of the monopod is the ability to take pictures from an unusual angle, from below or from above. Most monopod models are equipped with a camera control button that is built into the grip of the device. Smartphone is controlled via Bluetooth. This greatly simplifies the process of creating selfies. There are also monopods with a separate remote control.
In some models, the connection with the smartphone is not via Bluetooth, but through a special cord that needs to be inserted into the headphone jack of the smartphone. And in the cheapest selfie stick there is neither a cord nor a button. In this model, in order to take a photo, you need to use a timer.
