7 Amazing Ideas to Take Selfies that Get the Maximum Likes, Shares and Comments

Updated on September 27, 2018

Is there a right way or a wrong way to take selfies? Most of the popular photos on Facebook, Instagram and Twitter these days are selfies. You need a phone with great camera to experiment with selfies. Vivo smartphones offer one of the best cameras in the market today, at affordable prices. So, the first step is to get yourself the ideal camera phone and then maximize response on social media with these useful tips on taking the best selfies.

1. Find Good Lighting

Lighting is the beauty product we don't have to spend money on. Natural lighting gives you that beautiful glow that artificial lights cannot. Try clicking near a window with natural light or go out in the sunshine for that perfect pic. Avoid fluorescent lights at all costs. Lighting can make or break a picture.

2. Avoid Shadows

Having a shadow cast at your face can spoil your game. Face directly into or away from the sun. The golden hour to click a selfie is sunset or sunrise, when the light is low and beautiful. If there are any shadows, make sure they fall just right to enhance the photograph.

3. Know Your Angles

You should keep your chin down and tilt your head slightly for a flattering picture. It allows the shadows and light source to hit your face at all the right places.

4. Keep the Camera Up

Angles matter. When taking a selfie, hold your phone high so that the bottom of it is level with your eyes. You can even use a selfie stick. You need to hold the camera up high to look your most attractive. It makes the photo look less intense and the downward angle is super flattering.

5. Choose the Right Background

You should avoid strange objects behind your head and revealing things you don't want shown. The best selfies have an interesting background or really simple ones. Try using blank walls as the background. And, be aware of photo bombers and untidy backgrounds.

6. Use the Right App and Filters

There is no shame in editing your picture before posting them on social media platforms. There are a lot of apps to help you beautify your pics. If you have found a filter that suits you, stick to it. It would make your entire feed look cohesive.

7. Avoid Cliché Selfies

You don’t need to make that duck pout, gang sign or anything else that others are doing. Most of the time, people rely on these poses because they feel uncomfortable. You should embrace natural expressions. Expressions look best when they are fresh.

Taking the perfect selfie isn't easy. It’s all about the right combination of light, angle, setting and photo filters. If you're really serious about selfies, we recommend Vivo smartphones like V9 and V7 Plus, since these phones are known as the best selfie camera phones. If price is a concern, check out the easy financing options on Bajaj Finserv EMI Store and take advantage of the No Cost EMIs.
