10. Be Original/Get Creative

One of the Most Liked photos on instagram is Kendall Jenner's selfie where she lies flat on her back on the floor in a white lace dress and has her hair separated into several heart shapes.

Giving an artsy personalized feel to your selfie will have the same attention-getting results. Remembering to have fun will help your creative flow. Don't be afraid to innovate and pose in ways/settings/expressions that haven't yet been seen before.

9.Find Your Light

Making sure you're facing the light, or standing in good lighting is One Of The Most Important factors of taking a good picture. When the light is hitting the most flattering angels of your face, it helps to show off the features you want to highlight.
At all cost, avoid taking selfies in fluorescent lighting, known to be the most
unflattering scene for any and every skin tone. Not even Halle Berry can pull off fluorescent lighting if she wanted to. Filters can help to save the day and enhance an image if you've captured a decent photo in poor lighting, but in order to gain optimum quality, it's always advised to be sure you're in the most flattering light. Capturing photos while facing the sun is considered a natural filter.

8. Look Your Best/Presentable

Looking your best doesn't always require a full face of makeup. Some of the best selfies are taken first thing in the morning while you're still bright eyed and bushy tailed. The disheveled hair or a scruffy beard can be pulled off too, as long as you're posing confidently. Confidence really is the main tricks in looking your absolute best, and confidence, or a lack there of, will always translate in photographs. Being presentable goes for your environment as well. you want to make sure nothing distracting is going on in the background like a messy room or a photo bomber. Even an open toilet can be distracting when taking selfies in the bathroom. Make sure you take note of your surroundings within the first few shots to see exactly what your lens frame is picking up. There's nothing worse than taking a great picture of yourself only to notice something distracting that's impossible to edit or crop out.

7. Find Your Most Flattering Angle

Because we all have different bone structures, our most flattering angles will differ.
That means you might not be able to pull of the same angles as your favourite
celebrity (that doesn't mean you can't look cute too). You just have to discover which angles suit you best. If your face is oval or diamond shaped like Jessica Lowndes and Adam Levine, you're likely to get away with any angle especially straight on. If your face is heart shaped like Miranda Kerr's and Jude Law's, you're best suited to turning your chin at a 45 degree angle away from the camera.The same goes if your square shaped like Angelina Jolie and Tom Welling, or even round shaped like Selena Gomez's. No matter your face shape, always experiment with different angles. Quick tip: beauty marks on either side of your face will usually indicate your "good side."

6. Choose A Flattering Filter

How many of you are guilty of the #nofilter hashtag lie, when you know damm well it took you a good 5 minutes to decides on a decent filter? It's usually pretty obvius when someone has used a filter.

Filters are guaranteed to make ALL the difference, no matter how naturally good looking you're wearing to be like a filter. There are ways of tampering with the hue, brightness, and contrast of your selfie-ever so slightly-for it appear filterless. Filters are truly magical, and can help you get away with no make up at all or any other unsightly things you'd like to hide.

5. Take As Many As Possible

If at first you don't succed, try, try ,try and try, again. Then try some more. When it comes to taking the perfect of yourself, practice makes perfect! You really can't take too many, unless your memory card says so, but in that case all you have to do is dellete the ones you don't like. Taking tons of selfies will help learn which angles best flatter you personally and will get you comfortable and more confident in front of the camera. It helps to take selfies privately where you're a lot less self conscious and able to avoid the judgment of prying eyes. Be yourself, let loose, remember to be confident, and most importantly have a good time experimenting. You're not vain if you want to take a good picture of yourself.
