How to take a picture of yourself (selfie lovers DO NOT read)

The main problem of many Instagram bloggers or solo travelers is how to take a picture of yourself, and even beautifully? We are not currently considering the option of a selfie with a special stick. It is assumed that you have a serious camera, and you want to get a high-quality picture. How to take a picture of yourself?

This question is asked by people who are going to travel alone and those who need content for their blog on a daily basis. Of course, going on a trip with friends is more fun and interesting, but you will not always be in the company - for a number of reasons. For example, friends do not have the funds, time or desire to travel. Or you just want to take a break from everyday life all alone. It's the same at home - don't call your friends every time you come up with an idea for a new shot.

And we remind you that you can sell all high-quality pictures on photo stocks:

So how do you take a photo of yourself?

In the city, cafes, on a walk, you can, of course, ask ... the first stranger you meet. But photos can come out of poor quality and ugly, there are various reasons for this, we will not delve into them now. And anyway, how do you know what this stranger's intentions are about your camera?

In order to always get great and original photos, let me give you a couple of tips.

1. Use mirrors

A favorite way of many is to take pictures of themselves in the mirror. But you must always be creative and one step ahead of others. Take pictures using any reflective surfaces: doors, shop windows, mirrors of cars and buses, water surface.

Naturally, it is better to turn off the flash, otherwise the glare from it will “eat” almost the entire photo, and you will attract a lot of interested looks.

And if you get the hang of it, you can remove the reflection of the camera from the frame, then no one will notice that you photographed yourself yourself.

2. Photograph your shadow

This is also a very original way to capture yourself. Plus, you don't have to worry about having a pimple this morning. The main thing is to choose a good angle.

3. Parts of the body

Film your legs, outstretched palms, and any other parts of your body that you can capture with the camera. Such photos will diversify your Instagram account, and the simplicity of taking them gives an almost limitless flight for imagination.

4. Shooting with a tripod

If you have a tripod, and you are ready to carry it with you everywhere, then you can use it. If you do not have it, you can put the camera on some object or a flat surface.

At the same time, it is not always possible to guess with the height and the correct angle, as well as focusing. In addition, a person who puts a camera on a timer, runs back and takes a picture pose looks rather ridiculous from the outside. But this is the way to get the best photos!

The solution to many problems will be that today many cameras are equipped with Wi-Fi and easily connect with various applications, with which you can see the picture from the camera directly on the screen of your smartphone, which will allow you to line up the frame as accurately as possible. Cameras with a rotary screen and a remote control will also be useful.

Let's hope that these simple tips will bring a pleasant variety to your independent photos at home or while traveling.
