In an article titled "Why We Hate Selfies" published on the British website The Guardian, writer S.E. Smith noted that the "artist" will have to consider "the setting, the lighting, and the framing to create an image that expresses a mood, experience or feeling."
Smith, in the write-up that tackles the relationship of selfies being dismissed as a low form of art and the women's penchant for such, also noted that those taking selfies may also find the need to include other elements, such as "animals, peoples, or landscapes."
Having said that, the mobile arm of ABS-CBN has taken the time to compile a list of tips for those wanting to better their selfies, using a simple 13-megapixel smartphone camera found in the latest O+ USA 360 Extreme.
According to the list, one important factor is to always keep a smile. "Show off your pearly whites and charm everyone with your eyes," it wrote.
The list also suggested to take advantage of the technology available, nowadays, that allows anyone with a smartphone to easily snap a photo: "Shoot multiple selfies to capture that perfect angle."
Also, the list noted a technique called "Fresh Eyes," wherein one closes their eyes and opens them before snapping the photo. "You'll be surprised at how fresh you look in the photo," it said.
