For a few years the selfies have become fashionable. And although there are true professionals in this of becoming a selfie the truth is that there are also many that lack the slightest quality. In addition, many brands and professionals use this resource for their social networks. So let’s see how to drink selfies professionals and stand out in the attempt.

As a general rule, a selfie It should not be an image carefully taken by a professional photographer, using a camera mounted on a tripod.

Rather, it should be a much more informal image, captured well with a digital camera or smartphone and in merely spontaneous conditions, on the go, and usually intended for social media like Instagram, Twitter, or Facebook.

How to drink selfies original and quality

Now that you know what a selfie is and want to make yourself a pair, we share 7 tricks to make the best selfies with your camera.

Choose the best camera

A trick that very few know or few practice. Today there are almost all mobile phones with two cameras. Usually the rear camera tends to have more quality than the front one. Many people take a photo with the front camera to see themselves on the screen when taking the photo. If the cameras of the mobiles already have a limited quality and we choose the worst camera, the result may be of poor quality.

A good tip is to do the selfies with professional cameras. The difference shows.

Know your good and bad angles to take the photo

Not everyone is photogenic. And this means that for get a good selfie we must know the best angles and those that are not so flattering to us. That is, to make our face look thinner, we must take the selfie from a position just above our face.

Similarly, if your torso is also being captured, it is best to lean one shoulder toward the camera to help conceal that small lump under the chin.

Optimal light conditions

Keep in mind that the cameras of mobile phones are not the best. A photo camera will always offer much more quality than a mobile. This means that a selfie It should not be taken with a flash. Try to take advantage of favorable natural light conditions and thus minimize the poor quality of a mobile camera. Because no matter how much mobile you have, and despite the fact that the quality offered by their cameras is increasing, they always offer limitations. At least compared to professional cameras. Of course, we can always get the most out of our mobile.

For example, if we stand by the window, we will get a photograph that looks smooth and natural, and will also help to eliminate the dark shadows that are usually very common in this type of photograph.

Use filters for photos

The advantage of drink selfies with the mobile phone is that we can resort to countless camera applications that include a wide variety of filters to customize and give a unique touch to the image. Use filters in selfies It can help soften facial features or even conceal blemishes.

Don’t be so formal or serious in your photos

While there is nothing wrong with these two aspects, the reality is that a selfie It must have a bit of impudence or daring. Above all, a selfie should never be faked, it should be a casual photo, where the moment is enjoyed and where spontaneity is captured.

A good place to take photography

Take a selfie together with your baby it can be something very tender. However, if there is a trash can behind you or dirty kitchen dishes, all this is lost and the image projects the opposite. Make sure you choose a place that is interesting, that can get the attention of others and preferably avoid selfies in the bathroom completely.

Distance matters

Finally, it must be taken into account that the distance at which we take the photo can be decisive. Selfie sticks became important for this reason. They allow us to play with more angles and with different distances.

If you know how to drink selfies quality and original sure you can get many I like you to all the images you share on social networks.
