3 mistakes when photographing yourself in the mirror

How many times, trying to find a person on the Internet, have you come across his photo, consisting of templates and shortcomings? Lot. But to avoid these disadvantages is very simple. You just need to know the 3 most common mistakes in self portrait and try not to allow them.

The mistakes that girls and young people make, too, when photographing themselves in the mirror from the phone:

1. Facial expression.

Recently, girls are often photographed pouting lips, because of which they become like a duck. Everything would be fine, but this option has 2 drawbacks: a ridiculous look and cloning. There are thousands of such personnel on the Internet, if not more.

Naturalness looks much better. Practice in front of the mirror. It is possible that a smile suits you much more.

2. Background.

How many photos the mess in the apartment, strangers and other artifacts ruined. If you really can’t take a picture, then first take a picture of the room and think - Do you want friends and acquaintances to see it?

What if the hallway with a mirror is small and stuffed with things, in a room like in a train station, and in the toilet you can make a film from the life of a Soviet drinking man? Visit the store. Some changing rooms have great light, a large mirror and a curtain that will provide a good backdrop. Another plus in favor of shops is that you can take a photo in new clothes, just make sure that the mess from the mountain of things does not migrate to this photo. A photograph can be quickly thrown off to a friend or young man to find out their opinion on new things.

3. The flash.

Often a flash simply kills the frame, leaving only a vague silhouette from the person. To prevent this from happening, you need to take pictures without a flash. But! Need a good light. How to achieve this - turn on all the light available in the room, bring an additional table lamp, just do not direct it into the mirror.

In order to succeed in the pictures do not take a “fashionable pose” and a “glamorous” facial expression, be yourself, and not just another clone. Take a few shots to choose the best shot from the resulting photos.

Remember that "the queen is played by the retinue." Do not forget about what is behind you.

A flash, a bright sun and a bad light can make the shadows on your face sharp, and this will add to your age.

And do not hold the phone in front of your face - are you taking pictures of yourself or the phone?
