“Light from below is perfect for a late-night, torch-lit, scary, horror-story camping session. But for anything else- it's probably best to avoid!”— Amy Morris, thesun.co.uk
“Who said a selfie has to be of your beautiful face? Whether it’s to show off your #OOTD (outfit of the day) or pride for your team, mix it up!”— Elizabeth Groeschen, bhphotovideo.com
“A flash will give a very flat, even lighting which destroys the shape of the body. Plus, it’s unflattering and, if you’re doing an arm’s-length photo, you’re way too close for it.”— Stevie Martin, thedebrief.co.uk
“Wearing heels with your feet out of shot is good because it makes your legs and bum look great and your posture is good without them seeing that you’re wearing them.”— Stevie Martin, thedebrief.co.uk
“Spend less time on what outfit to wear, and more on choosing a hairstyle that expresses who you are. For women, long, flowing curls suggest sensuality.”— Vivian Diller, huffingtonpost.com
“A relaxed and natural photo results in more interest than one that looks studied. A moment captured while doing something that truly interests you — walking your dog, listening to music, watching a sunset — is more appealing than one that is posed and stiff.”— Vivian Diller, huffingtonpost.com
“Don’t over-filter yourself. Everyone can tell, I promise. That said, sometimes it’s fun to do ALL THE FILTERS on your selfie.”— Kara Nesvig, thoughtcatalog.com

“If you’re taking a mirror photo, clean the mirror off, please.”— Jillian Paulson, thoughtcatalog.com
“One of my go-to pics is just the top of whatever underwear I’m wearing that day. For some reason, just the pic of my navel ring and some lace-topped underwear sends dudes into a frenzy.”— Jillian Paulson, thoughtcatalog.com
“Know your angles. Do you look best from the left side? Then always aim to show that off. Also, an angled body tends to look slimmer and more flattering.”— Jillian Paulson, thoughtcatalog.com

“I like to show an array of different things on social media. A mixture of personalities: fierce, confident, sporty, wild child, laid-back.”— Candice Swanepoel, vogue.co.uk
“Sure, a straight head shot of yourself has its place, but it isn't going to stand out. For a truly interesting and postable selfie, paint yourself with flowers. Put a cat on your head. Something to make your image stand out from all those other millions of selfies out there.”— David Peterson, digital-photo-secrets.com
“You should take a lot of selfies, because that's the best way to ensure you end up with a good one. But you should only post a very small percentage of the selfies you take. There's nothing like a Facebooker who posts a new selfie every couple of hours. Keep your selfie posting to a minimum, because…”— David Peterson, digital-photo-secrets.com
