Supermodels deliver selfie tips

Thursday, 31 July 2014

Heaven forbid this generation be remembered for anything but the #selfie, but the self-taken photograph is undeniably all the rage with the smartphone-wielding populace and indeed many a Mig user.

So who better to offer selfie tips than the folks who pose for photographs for a living? (Watch the video below.)

1. Hold the phone up higher

This was the most popular tip, mentioned by most of the models. “Go above and get lots of light,” said Jamie Bochert. Karlie Kloss, Joan Smalls and Adriana Lima all held their phones higher up, to catch better light coming from above and to make their faces taper downwards.

2. Figure out which is your best side

For Daria Strokous, that’s the left side of her face, she revealed in the video. Lima too tried this, as did Alessandra Ambrosio and Maria Borges, who tested out selfies at different angles.

3. Tilt your head

Tilting the head lengthens the neck and helps reveal a better edge along the chin and jawline, according to Ajak Deng. Ambrosio also tilted her head, lifting the phone up to hit both this tip and tip #1.

4. Get your hair right

Just like in real life, your hairstyle can make or break your look. Candice Swanepoel tousled her hair for more volume and struck a pose.
