Step 1
First you have to find your right angle. This step is easy, you just need to figure out how to hold the camera so you look your best.
Example; my angle would be holding the camera slightly over my head, looking down at me, or straight infront of my face, so I'm looking directly at it. -
Step 2
Second, you have to pick out your props. Example; if you would like to be holding a flower, wearing a headband, riding a bike, anything. Props make the picture original, without props, your picture may seem a little boring. Remember to use colors, but don't go overboard !!!

Step 3
Thirdly; Chose a background and position. Backgrounds are important, especially if you don't plan to blur the background enough to not see it. Also, the position you're in makes a huge impact, for example; if you're standing, sitting, if it's all your body, or just your face, so on.
Try different things, don't always be in the same position or have the same background, make things interesting. -
Step 4
Fourthly- have fun ! Self portraits are a great way to boost self confidence & show emotion.
