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 trick 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.
