Cool Tips And Tricks to Take the Perfect Selfie!

We know that you just love taking selfies. That's why we're brining EmoFix for you. But in the meantime, why not take a look at some cool selfie tips which will help you take that perfect snap you wanted.

Camera Settings

Your camera or photographic app will consist of several features that are a lot more in depth than simply taking the photo. You can play with shapes, zoom, flash or filters to edit the appearance and quality of the final result.

Lighting

Making sure the area is well lit is a key factor of a great selfie. Your facial expression, hair, outfit or makeup will look their best and stand out in great light and you’ll avoid unsightly shadows.

Poses

Take a look at your favourite celebrity’s Instagram page, or flick through the pages of a magazine. You’ll see how the poses add to the feel and appearance of the photo. Try them out yourself until you find one that fits your style and flatters your face.

Once you’ve perfected your post, keep still! Breathe deeply, focus and carefully take the shot to prevent motion blur.

Spruce Up

Check you’re looking your best in the mirror before you pull out your phone.  If you look and feel great, it’ll be reflected in the photo. Smooth down flyaway hairs and show off your best smile for an attractive shot full of positive energy.

Check your Background

Quickly scanning your background before pressing the button can save you from awkward scenarios such as funny signs or unexpected photo-bombs. It only takes a second to look around, especially if you have a front facing camera.

It also can’t hurt to quickly clean up your environment. Do you really want all your friends to see your piles of dirty laundry?

Apps

Apps like Instagram and Hipster allow you to add pre-made filters, to enhance your photo and add bright or vintage effects.

PicFX offers similar filters, however also features stunning lighting effects such as bokeh, galaxy effects or hearts, as well as texture overlays and frames to personalise your photo even further.

In Asia, beauty apps are all the rage, with popular apps such as BeautyPlus that ‘beautify’ the subject’s appearance. They can result in an airbrushed finish, exhibiting smooth skin or slimmer features. While this level of self-editing may be controversial, the app remains the top photo editing app in Japan, Thailand and Taiwan and over 10 million users worldwide.

Remotes

Using Emofix, you can take steady, well balanced images without having to hold your phone, allowing you to maintain a more natural pose and a flattering angle, resulting in a better selfie.
