A selfie is only a selfie if you are taking a photo of yourself.

A selfie is only a selfie if (surprise) you are taking a photo of yourself. A photo taken by your girlfriend or co-worker isn't a selfie.

So take a few minutes to acquaint yourself with your phone's buttons. The pros use the top volume button to take a picture instead of the actual camera button.

 

  • Pay attention to good lighting.
  • Use your phone's back camera.
  • Don't use a mirror unless there's no other way to get the shot you want.
  • Consider the background of your picture.
  • Watch out for photo-bombers.
  •  Grab a few more people to be in the photo.
