Best way to make a selfie of your smile

#1 Post by Guido2 »

Hi all,

i've been struggling for some time to make a good picture of my braced smile but it didn't work out. I've tried it both via themirror and directly (without looking at the screen) but I get or blurry pictures or the angle is not correct so that not everything is visible.

Does anyone have a suggestion how to make good looking selfies?

Thanks:)

I use my phone. I face the camera towards me and use a mirror to see the screen to make sure I have a good angle and my whole mouth is in the shot.

I just use my front side camera on my phone. It works good enough.
