Oh, and for those of you who are super-extra: you can try a sun diffuser or reflector to manage the shadows. That prevents shadows and also means you aren’t squinting at the camera from the blinding sun. If that’s not doable, angle yourself so the sun is at your back. If you’re taking a post-run selfie and the sun is causing shadow problems, hide out under a shady tree to capture your dewy post-workout glow. Even if you’ve found the perfect golden hour to snap a selfie: if the shadow of a pole or window blinds cuts across your face, it ain’t cute.Īvoid off-putting shadows by snapping pics in the shade. You’re looking for the right lighting, but you’ll want to avoid shadows, too. That's just some essential photography basics for you to chew on right there: I know that no matter how hung up you are on taking a good selfie, you're not going to wake up before the sun does for it. Now, the best time of day to take photos outside is when the sun is lower in the sky, before sunrise and right after sunset. A good selfie connects whoever is looking at you, to you, and it’s critical for taking a great selfie. In both cases, these friends of mine are trying to soften their eyes and put some human emotion in their expression. Others try to imagine the moment right before they are about to laugh. When taking a selfie, I have friends who pretend they are about to seduce the lens with their eyes. If you’re like my mom and have yet to understand exactly where the camera is buried in that sleek, mysterious iPhone attached to your hand, do a few tests to learn where your eyes actually meet the camera. If you followed my advice above and wiggled your head and your phone around to find the perfect selfie angle, now you need to freeze, concentrate, and gaze deep into the lens of your smartphone.
Directly at the camera, not the phone area in general. So, the point is: to take a compelling selfie, focus your eyes on the camera. We’re still searching for that human connection in someone’s eyes. That’s half the charm of the Mona Lisa, right? Even though a lot of communication happens via email and iMessage today, we’re not robots. We’re drawn to the eyes of any photo we see. Andddd, that should be enough evidence to make sure you tilt when setting up for a selfie.
Yep, I just said your nose might look bigger.
Not convinced? There’s also the fact that the cylindrical shape of a camera lens can make whatever’s in the middle-usually our nose-appear flatter or wider.

But since your brain has built up experience you know that the runner is in fact a full size human and in fact, not a cat. Now if you were basing your observations strictly on what you see, you might be sure there’s a cat-sized man some distance away from you. Like, if you see someone running off in the distance they look, well, tiny.
