How to Take a Perfect Selfie in 6 Minutes

Taking a cute selfie we like really shouldn't be as stressful as it is but at the same time, it's so easy for us to chalk up a bad selfie as "oh, I'm just not photogenic."

Just like anything else in life, you can get good at taking selfies, just like how you can get good at taking photos, learning the piano, or running a mile.

Follow me along through this Selfie Exercise and let's work taking beautiful photos of ourselves!

The girl I like is asking for a selfie to show her friends and I can’t screw this up 😭

Love how you did this as a real time exercise! Such a cool concept and really shows how gorgeous your lighting and editing is. Could see it being adopted by the ASMR community if it hasn't already, the format is so relaxing and educational.

i am ready to become the selfie queen, thank you <3

[mnmgirl]

As someone who absolutely never knows what to do in photos, especially selfies, I think this will be a helpful exercise. Ty king!

[kataocafe]

For some reason this video was super relaxing. I love it & it feels like it could be a series where you follow this relaxing format.

[pavithraparthasarathy]

Felt like a friend sitting next to us teaching how to take perfect selfies!! Lots of love 💚

Omg yes, I would LOVE an expression tutorial! I basically feel good smiling in photos, and that's all, lol. You're so generous & helpful with all the body & face posing tips you offer here and on tiktok, and I've so appreciated those! but like I said, besides smiling, I have no idea what to do with my expression! So yeah, any help you would be willing to share would be amazing ✨

I'm going to keep coming back to this. I felt a bit embarrassed but I still like it! Thanks for making this :D

[AB-inho]

Thank you ! For the first time in my life I actually liked pictures of myself after your exercise

[Lyntrea]

I really love this! I love the idea of walkthrough posing and self portraiture. This was fun to do!

[sun_up]

Really cool. Most advice is limited to just doing the circle. I really like how you’re doing a warm-up (though it‘s strange at first) and then work with expressions and different tilts and pans.
(I‘m someone - like many others - who have this terrible stressed out smile that just looks too awkward but somehow comes automatically the moment I see a lens pointed at me)

After that exercises my neck fells much more lighter, even the pain has gone, thx dude.

[Luiza]

Thank you so much! I was looking for a tutorial to take selfies but I just founded people talking about the apps they use. For the first time my selfies gets good and now I can do an instagram account with no shame of my photos! <3

I'm glad he wrote "window" instead of "mirror" because I got really confused when he said: "The best place you can go is right in front of a big mirror"

[depressoespresso]

i love that you made it so clear that this is may be awkward doing but this is a safe place for practice its so reassuring
also i love your voice so calming

[essenceezell]

Felt like a potato, but I'm gonna practice w this video more. I would definitely look forward to the body posing exercise video! (Or more videos like this periodt) 💕

[suzanneobrien]

I am 68 years old and have very little positive to work with🤣 I travel with my daughter and would love to not ruin her great pics.... I see help here. Thank you!
