Never take one looking down, this gives you dark circles & shadows that are incredibly hard to edit out.
Less is more, don’t pile on a shitload of makeup just to take a photo of yourself it doesn’t look good, or natural. Less really is more, and often people only think they look rough without make up cos they have a routine in the morning and end up wearing it even when they say they wont. I often look better in images i take of myself when i PAY ATTENTION to the light around me, Sunlight is best to take a picture but you have to be careful what angle you shoot at to avoid shadows & glare off the sun.
Always remember to show your personality, anyone can pout or pull a duck face/smile at the camera, show us a bit of your soul, take one while laughing at something funny you will be surprised how cute you probably look!
Fashion is important when you want to show someone a bit of yourself but not the most important when taking a picture, always be comfortable in what your wearing when shooting yourself otherwise you will see this in the picture unless your an incredible actress/actor! Facial expression & posture are the most important things to consider, sitting up straight versus slouching will improve the picture 10 fold. Squinting your eyes will look bad for example (bit obvious) but you see what i am getting at here!
