Hey guys I want to do a selfie how do I do that so it doesn't suck

@reibeatall Don't use the "selfie camera" 😉

@Averly but how do I get it to take a picture of me then??

@reibeatall

If you don't have a "selfie-stick", then prop up your camera (and double-check the correct angle & lighting) + you can use your headphones to to snap a photo from far away. Otherwise, set a timer and strike a pose! Props help, as does natural interaction with natural things.

The more natural light, the better. And don't be afraid to be yourself, having fun during the process. More photos = more choices. Really... Just have fun with it!

😉

@Averly I also have a problem smiling. Like, I can't smile for pictures.

But this is all actually super helpful information!

@reibeatall

I think the biggest hurdle for "shy" people like myself... is to hand over the camera to someone else. Give yourself something to enjoy, whether it be a fake flower or something new... They'll definitely capture your spirit and joy without even looking at the camera. It's just... natural :)

@Averly that's so much workkkkkkk. I mean I guess I got an OK picture this weekend when my wife took one of me and my youngest kid but I don't always want a kid in the pic, you know?

@reibeatall

Sometimes the best photos are the unexpected ;)

Try to NOT plan and just focus on the moment. I think you'll be surprised with the results 😊
