Background- Always think before clicking a selfie. It’s not just about the foreground. Your background is as important as you. Make sure your background is clean and neat. This will ensure your selfie have a great composition altogether.

Angle your head- Try tilting your head a little and figure out what works best for you. You can also support the head with your hand, making it a classic pose. You cannot go wrong with it.

Keep your camera at a distance- Try this experiment: Click a selfie from your phone and position it at 30-50 cm away from your face and click another selfie at 15 cm away. You will notice that your facial features are more accurate when the camera is at a 30-50cm away from your face. Or use a selfie stick.

Crop to the rescue- You just clicked a great selfie but forgot about the messy background. Crop it in style.
