Taking the Perfect Selfie

When I’m on set with an amazing photographer, sometimes all it takes is one or two snaps to get the shot. But selfies are different. Yes, even for a model, it’s completely normal to have to take 20 (or more) to get one that’s usable. If you’re feelin’ yourself, I always say post the pic with no regrets. But if you’re looking to really nail your next close-up, here’s what I keep in mind.
