To make the perfect selfie, you need to train a lot - this is a fact. And do not think that before everything was different: the tradition of self-portraits is rooted in the distant past. But today there is no need to pay the court painter - Pics.RU prepared for you 13 tips, following which you will easily make SamoJeBKU (Slovensk. "Selfie" - approx.) Not worse than in the XVI century.
Know Rakurs
Hans Golbien Jr., "Portrait of Sir Nicholas Carey", 1532-1533
Each of us is an asymmetrical face, with this you need to accept, as well as with the fact that on the one hand we look better than on the other. The fashion model is even called the "working" side. If you do not like a classic profile, turn around three quarters like Sir Nicholas in this picture.
Experiment with filters
Bartel Brain Senior, "Portrait of a Men", 1515-1550
Even if you like more natural and natural photos, try different photo filters, effects and textures. Make the background is darling, like on this picture of Bruna or try a high-contrast filter to give a photo of drama and fatality.
Natural Lighting IS Good for You
Albrecht Durer, "Young Woman with Braided Hair", 1497
When it comes to Selfie, the natural light is the best that you can come up with. If you do not have the opportunity to go out, then at least come to the window.
Smiley eyes
Raphael Sanzio di Urbino, "Portrait of Cardinal Bibien", 1516
This trick will revive your selfie, will make the frame more alive and attractive. So let your look will not be empty - march to the mirror and train until you get perfect. Take an example from Cardinal!
Choose background
Jean Clue, "Portrait of Charlotte French", 1522
Of course, sometimes it can be fun to drink yourself on the background of some big event or something varnish, but let nothing distract attention from your face. Look at Charlotte: all the attention of the viewer is focused on it, and the background - a simple black canvas, harmonizing, by the way, with her dress.
Do not pay attention to critics
Albrecht Durer, "Dresden Altar", 1496
There is always someone who considers their duty to express their opinion (as if it is interesting to someone). Remember that only you can decide what is better for you and more beautiful, so let all the critics shut up - you will lay out such selfie that you like.
Accessories are important
Paolo Veronese, "Portrait of Women", XVI century
Proper accessories will undoubtedly bring chic and gloss into ordinary selfie. Add luxury Renaissance, putting lace, velvet or pearl thread, and if you want something more relaxed, then put on your best sunglasses.
Attract friends
Raphael Sanzio Di Urbino, "Double Portrait", 1516
Something is to do stupid selfie with a bunch of friends (we hope you spend time with them more fun than these two in the picture). Most likely, you will be very nice to watch these photos in the future.
Be yourself
Lucas cranes younger, "Miniature Barbara Radziville", 1565
If you like to be photographed with a full parade, with a hairstyle, makeup and in the best dress (like the old woman of Barbara in this picture), is great! If in the gym, while you make a stretch or pull the bar, too beautiful! There is no correct or incorrect way to make a photo. Just be yourself.
Stay
Andrea Del Sarto, "Portrait of a Young Men", after 1510
Add sexuality Selfie, looking into the camera over the shoulder. Blogger Nadia Abulkhosn can be called truly the queen of this genre, but also a guy in the picture knows a sense in tomotiness.
Take a cat
Titian, "Portrait of the emperor Karl V with a hound", 1533
Nothing adds the faithfulness of your photos more than a pet. Share Glory with him as a reward for all the endless devotion that it gives you!
Take pictures in full growth
Jacob Zayzenhegger, "Erzgezogy Anna", 1545
No need to limit yourself with shooting only close-up! Be as a real fashionista - drank onions in full growth!
Express yourself
Albrecht Durer, "Altar Geller", 1507-1509
Like a classic portrait, Selfie gives you a chance to truly express myself, your personality. It is good that today you do not need a shield with a surname coat of arms, but quite just important things in your life.
