How to Take Good Selfies這些自拍技巧，別說我沒告訴你

Taking selfies is a fun way to show the world your confidence， personality and fashion sense. From presidents to Academy Award1） winners， almost everybody's doing it. But don't just point your camera at your face and take a shot without planning—there's an art to taking attention-grabbing selfies that your friends will love seeing.

自拍是向這個世界展現(xiàn)你的自信、個性與時尚品位的一種有趣方式。從總統(tǒng)到奧斯卡獎得主，幾乎人人都在玩自拍。不過，你可不要只把你的鏡頭對準(zhǔn)自己的臉，然后毫無設(shè)計地就按下“拍攝”鍵——拍出奪人眼球并令你的朋友們樂于欣賞的自拍照是有技巧的。

Capture a good angle. Instead of taking the picture head-on， experiment with different angles to show off your features. Holding the camera slightly higher than your head so that it's pointing down on you， which will make your eyes look bigger and help you avoid \"pig nose\".

Be sure to smile or do something cheerful. No matter what， a smile is one of the most appreciated and charming expressions you can wear. A sad face or a frown will not help.

Focus on one feature. If you're planning on doing a close-up2） of your face， consider glamming up3） one feature that you are especially pleased with while downplaying4） the others.

Take a full-length5） photo. If you want to show off a great new outfit or a fabulous figure after a diet， you will need to stand in front of a full-length mirror to capture your body from head to toe. In this instance， your face is no longer the focus of the photo.

Edit the photo. If you have photo editing software， you can also touch up6） any blemishes7） or flaws on the selfie before uploading it to a social media account. You can cut out parts of the background， resize the photo so it frames your face differently， change the way the light looks and so on.

找到一個合適的角度。不要把鏡頭正對著頭部自拍，試著從不同的角度秀出你的臉龐吧。把鏡頭微微高舉過你的頭部，這樣它就會以俯視的角度拍攝你，從而使你的雙眼顯得更大，并幫你避免拍出“豬鼻子”。

一定要微笑或做一些令人愉悅的事情。無論如何，微笑是你的臉龐可以綻放出的最令人欣賞且最富有魅力的表情之一。一臉悲傷或是眉頭緊鎖將對拍出美照毫無益處。

突出某個部位。如果你打算給自己的臉拍個特寫，考慮一下對你特別滿意的某個部位進行美化，并對其他部位進行淡化處理吧。

拍一張全身照。如果你想秀一身特別漂亮的新衣服或是自己節(jié)食之后的曼妙身材，你需要站在一面大穿衣鏡前，拍一張全身照。在這種情況下，你的臉部就不再是自拍照的焦點了。

編輯照片。如果你有照片編輯軟件，你也可以在把自拍照上傳到某個社交網(wǎng)絡(luò)賬戶之前將照片上的任何瑕疵或不足稍加美化一番。你可以裁去部分背景，調(diào)整照片尺寸從而使其以另一種方式襯托你的臉，改變光線效果等等。
