Smart hacks for those perfect seflies
Add impact to your shots with some creativity and the right camera phone
One of the top “selfie-addict”
nation in the world, the Pinoy certainly has made “selfie” into an art form. We
take selfies as a way to capture and store unforgettable moments. But while
everyone with a smartphone can make one, how do you capture selfies that stand
out?
Stunning selfies are a
combination of artful poses, perfect lighting, and maybe some enhancements from
your camera apps. Because a selfie is a form of self-expression, it is
necessary to keep your creative juices flowing while keeping some professional
techniques in mind.
Here are some tips on
combining techniques with the power of your self-expression:
1. Look for your
best angle
Before snapping a
photo of yourself, turn your head or shoulder slightly to the left and then to
the right. This lets you find out which angle works best for you. Emphasize
your jawline as much as possible by raising the camera slightly above you.
Aside from putting emphasis on your jaws, this technique allows your eyes to show
their brilliance.
2. Go for the
active shot
A photo that shows you
doing something is more interesting than a plain shot. This could be a travel
selfie, or a photo of yourself doing a hobby.
3. Rule of thirds
The rule of thirds is
standard for every photographer, and it still applies to your selfies. Instead
of having your face right at the center of the photo, try putting your face at
the top left or top right of your selfie for more balanced composition.
When taking full body
shots, putting yourself near the edge of the frame makes for a more dramatic
shot.
4. Accessories and
props
Your selfies are the perfect
opportunity to show the world how your brow game is on fleek. If you want to
flaunt that OOTD, a shot in front of the mirror is still the best way to do it.
You’ll also need the
right camera phone if you want your photogenic self to shine through in every picture.
The OPPO F1s is a
great pick for the needs of every selfie lover. Thanks to an impressive
16-megapixel front-facing camera equipped with a 1/3.1-inch sensor and a wide f/2.0
aperture, the F1s captures very clear selfies even in less than ideal lighting
conditions.
In addition to the
hardware, the OPPO “selfie expert” comes with the Beautify 4.0 app that
smoothens out those unwanted blemishes, as well as eight filters you can apply
to add mood to your shots.
“While selfies give
you much room for self-expression, having the right tool complements your flow
of creative juices. It also lets you achieve your desired photos. That is what the
OPPO F1s promises and delivers,” said OPPO Philippines Marketing Brand Manager
Stephen Cheng.
