Selfie poses: the best arrangement for self-portrait

There are an infinite number of selfie poses - and some poses are particularly popular. In this practical tip, we not only show you how to find the perfect selfie pose for yourself, but also introduce you to the most famous poses for selfies.

This is how you achieve the perfect selfie pose

Basically, you should feel comfortable in a pose. This applies not only to selfies, but also to photos in general. So try to be as natural as possible. Here are a few tips for the perfect selfie:

• You should test different lighting conditions. Ideally, you should use daylight and position yourself at the window or use soft boxes for the pictures. However, be careful not to look directly into the light as this often casts unsightly shadows on the face.
• Also try different perspectives. It is usually not advisable to take pictures from far above or below, as the face will otherwise be too small and helpless (from above) or too unfriendly and unfavorable (from below).
• It is best to use the rear camera, as this usually takes the better pictures. This is unsuitable for Seflies because you cannot see yourself, but you can help yourself with a mirror. This should give you a look at the display.
• You can then still edit the photos. Here you can use different apps and add an exciting filter to the selfies.

• Surprised Face: The surprised face is quickly reproduced. To do this, you should open your eyes and mouth as far as possible. With a frightened hand in front of the open mouth, you still underline the gesture.

• Fitness Selfie: You should take a fitness selfie right after exercising. Throw yourself in a particularly sporty pose, show your muscles and let everyone know how hard you have trained.
• Car Selfie: The selfie in the car is part of a popular snapshot. However, you should not take such a selfie while driving.
• Pet Selfie: Selfie poses with the pet are also popular. This can seem unintentionally funny and requires a lot of tact with some animals.
