Instagram Selfie Contest Tips
It is an established fact that all humans are narcissistic creatures
& they love to stay in the limelight. Most of us; especially women of all
ages can relate how much we like to look best not only in real life but in even
selfies or selcas. Snapping one best-shot can make your picture go viral.Learn
below how to take good selfies to build the circle of your admirers. Hang on; first put your circle
lenses
on!
1. Choose
Well-Lit & Well Ventilated Area
Before
you start venturing with your digital camera; you should first choose a
well-lit and well-ventilated area for capturing selcas. If your selected area is
well-lit but not properly ventilated you will have annoyance at your face no
matter how hard you try to suppress it. Always stay relax, cool and stay in fun
mood when you begin with selcas.
Source
of light should always be mounted infront you a bit up above the eye level.
Light source when at back leaves you in shadow which entirely ruins the shot!
2. Artificial
Lights Vs Sunlight
Now
this needs a bit work out. Most often out door pictures are bright & clear.
Sunlight often yields better results than artificial lights since it tends to
highlight even the narrow details of the subject. If your focus is on any of
your physical feature; try posing outside as it is considered the best tip to
capture the crystal clear photos. On the other hand artificial lights highlight
the flaws of your face. This includes irregular skin texture, facial zits &
bumps and fine lines.
If
unfortunately finding an area lit with natural-light is not possible for you;
you can use a curtain or any other fabric to diffuse the light coming from a
single source. This brings smoother results and flattering effects.
3. Strike
a Pose
This
is the trickiest thing. We all have preconceived notions that posing in a
particular way will make us look seductive or cute. However; our selcas are
often a disappointment. Guess why? The reason is over-exaggerated expressions. This
includes the mistake we unknowingly commit while taking self-photos. Few
examples are “Duck face” & “Wide Eyes”.
Pose
cute with cute accessories around such as stuff toys and objects that best
define your personality. If you are a book-worm; posing with a book in hand and
a book rack at back will do.
A. Feature
your facial features
If
you want to feature your eyes or lips; better emphasize on them using a plumpy
lip gloss or dramatic eye makeup respectively. The pout of your lips is best
shown in a decent closed mouth coy smile than the awkward puckering gesture.
When taking a selca to emphasize facial beauty; fill the frame up with your
face & hair as much as possible without seeming ridiculous or fake.
B. Show
something new
Want
to break the news of your new fabulous hair cut or a new piece of jewelry - a
nose pin or an earring? Go wild; because selfies are the best modern way to get
into the limelight. Look for the best angle to press the capture button.
C. Be
Loyal
Though
photo-editing soft wares have brought remarkable change in the digital
photography; you have to believe that the satisfaction brought by natural
photos is far way “original” than those edited. When you take a selfie don’t go
crazy for over-night fame. Have fun with filters; but avoid reshaping your body
features for long-lasting fame.
If
you are a makeup expert or a model; remember these tips when you have an urge
to share a selfie with your fans next time. Be a bit patient; and find your
inbox over-loaded with compliments in couple of days!
