Tips for a Great Selfie Frame your face. Make sure your entire face is clearly visible within the camera view and inside the oval guide. Center the camera. Hold your camera directly in front of your face, about a foot away. Avoid tilting or angling. Face forward. Position your face directly toward the camera. Avoid turning to the side or capturing from an angle. Remove obstructions. Keep your face free from anything that might block it, like hats, scarves or sunglasses. Light it right. Use front-facing light to avoid shadows, glare or backlighting that can obscure your features. Simplify the background. Stand in front of a plain backdrop. Steer clear of windows, décor or other distractions. Stay solo. Make sure no one else appears in the frame. This selfie is just for you. Add extra light. Use additional lighting, if needed, to brighten your face and improve clarity.
