How to take good photos of your self?

[underbraust]

I hope some of you will share your tips for taking great photos of your selves. I've seen people using mirrors, timers, video frames. All sorts of clever things. But what do YOU do?
I struggle to take good photos of my self, not least because I don't look so good as half of you.
Any tips are appreciated.

Need a friend

Use the timer
Frame it up first on a shelf or pile of books
Then get all the way naked and go for it
Get it hard so we can see how big it is!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I have done all of the above. LOL

A camera with a timer is GREAT!

It's all about trying different ways and having fun with it.

What kj said!!!!

It's all about having fun...getting excited and then sharing that excitement with us!!!!

While you are thinking of the shot....think about the lady looking at it...think about her touching herself...because of you! And don't be freaked if a man appreciates you! Consider yourself encouraged!

Now go forth and photograph....

Here's some tips .......... take 100 pics and hopefully you will get 5 maybe 10 you find suitable, most aren't going to be what you want to post so don't worry about it, they are only digital pics, delete them, take some more.

Take a variety of pics of the same thing, take some clsoe, some far, some from the left, some from the right, infront, behind, whatever, just keep snapping.

Use different light sources, sunlight, early in the morn, late afternoon, use shadows where you can find them at times, use a light bulb or 10 at night, experiment to see what works for what you want and what your camera is capable of.

Once you've taken your 100 pics, use different cropping methods to hide / highlight certain features. not every pic needs to be head to toe. some can be eyes and mouth, mouth, neck and shoulders, chest and stomach, stomach and groin, groin only or a combination of any part and it could also be of only one side.

Find a decent pic editing program and learn to use it's tools. Highlights, darkens, blur, sharpness, contrast, brightness, all of them, experiment, save files as you go along if you like what you've done to them so you've got a copy to go back to if you screw it up along the way. You might find you have 5 or 6 copies of the same pic but with different effects / tools applied to it.

Try to find your own style, you'll find your most confident and enjoy posting pics you like yourself, if others like them, and i'm sure they will then it's all a big bonus.

Edit - And look for different surfaces, for example my current av, i haven't used a reflection tool or the like, i took the pic with my face against the glass, a natural reflection created and used for making a diferent kind of pic, some like it, some hate it, as long as your having fun then this place will be a ton of it !!!!
