MANILA - Are you a fan of taking selfies? In-demand lensman Mark
Nicdao has a few tips on taking quality self-portraits that will present
you in literally the best light.
On "Kris TV," Nicdao coaches host Kris Aquino on things to consider when taking selfies. These include adequate lighting.
"Kung saan may pinakamalakas na ilaw... Halimbawa, window lighting pag nasa bahay ka. Tapat ka lang sa ilaw," he said.
The best natural lighting for taking selfies, Nicdao added, is around 7 a.m. or 5 p.m. He called this the "magic hour."
If you're taking a selfie with someone or a group, Nicdao advised to
have the person with the longest arm or reach hold the camera. This will
make you appear farther from the lens.
Nicdao also had tips to look more slim in your selfies.
If with a group, stay behind your friend. You can also extend your
chin to avoid the appearance of a "double chin." For women or men with
long hair, you may also opt to place your hair on the sides of your
face.
Before you take a mirror selfie, Nicdao advised to study your best angle.
Agreeing with Nicdao's tips, Aquino added: "Normally naman, hindi
mag-se-selfie pag malungkot ka, eh. Ang ma-si-share mong selfie, happy
ka, so you're sharing good times with people... In taking a
selfie, you
have to feel beautiful."
