Clicking selfies is not a fad, it’s becoming a tradition. Nowadays, every second person walking down the streets stops to capture a perfect selfie. While the stopover may be just one or two, the number of pictures clicked during that stopover will be big, only to capture that one awe-inspiring selfie!
With selfies becoming an inevitable part of our society, let’s celebrate the World Selfie Day with some unbelievable hacks that can be used to get flawless selfies:

Have you ever tried capturing a picture in a dark room or a room with barely any light? Wasn’t the outcome a little unpleasing? Thus, lighting plays an important role in the picture. Instead of using flashlights and artificial lights, try standing under the natural light of the sun and see the difference in the picture. The selfie will be so vibrant and gorgeous, that you will skip a heartbeat for sure.
#2. What’s In The Background?

When this craze came into existence, the internet was flooded with some real gaffes as innocent people forgot to check the background before clicking the selfie. To avoid such errors, it’s important to ensure an appealing background is chosen to click the selfie. A pile of clothes stacked on the bed or a view to the hot seat in the bathroom will only hamper the beauty of the selfie.
#3. It’s All About The Angle

How many times has it happened with you that you pick your phone to click a selfie and adjust the angle plethora number of times before an ideal angle suits your liking? Sometimes you have to experiment with angles to know what best suits the picture. Did you know while resting on the bed, the phone should be placed at an angle of 90 degrees to get some cool pictures?
#4. What’s A Selfie Without A Pose?

Clicking selfie with a straight face is too mainstream. Try practicing different funky poses while clicking a selfie to make a difference in the field. A balloon face or a flying kiss pose are some innovative ways adopted by celebs and models for selfies to capture out of the box stills.
#5. Let One Third Rule Of Photography Play!

One of the rules implied in photography to enhance the quality of picture clicked states that the subject must be placed at one-third of the frame so that there is enough room for the viewer to explore the background. Thus, if you stand before the Niagara Falls or the Eiffel towers, remember to capture only one-third of the screen and let the background add wonders to your selfie.
#6. No Light? Switch To Primary Camera!

In the case of low light, do not get disheartened! Switch to the primary camera and enjoy clicking some phenomenal selfies. Usually, the quality of flashlight in secondary camera is not as impressive as the one with the primary camera. Hence, when light plays spoilsport, use your primary camera and continue the spree of clicking selfies.
#7. Twinning? That’s Mirror Effect!

Sometimes clicking your reflection in the mirror captures a better picture than the one where you pose for it. That’s probably because mirror makes you look leaner and taller, adding that natural filter to the photo without using any Photoshop skills. So what are you waiting for? Click a selfie and test it yourself!
#8. Filter Like Coffee!

I think this your pose is the most important one here because other things will follow with it. Although, people might go way too far with this one. I have only one suggestion for them: Don't.
