Here are a few tips to click the best selfies

  • To begin with, stand next to a window. Natural light works best for any kind of photography. Try taking a selfie in natural sun light and in a dark room with a single light bulb – you will immediately notice the difference.
  • Make sure that the sun is in the front and at an angle just above you’re your eye level. For indoor lighting too the same rule applies. The light source should be in front of you and just above your eye level.
  • Use of flash is not recommended. It is not necessary to use a flash to click selfies.
  • If you wish to better diffuse the light, use a thin curtain. It makes the selfie more flattering and gives it a soft effect.
  • Natural light creates a magical effect two hours after sunrise and one hour before sunset. The lighting is just perfect at these times.

After taking care of all the above factors, you can still spice up your selfies with the use of selfie apps and give them a perfect look! Selfie apps come with various adjustments for colors, hues, saturation and many of them have a lot of features to add special effects too!
