How to Rely on Picture Perfect Selfies

The latest smartphone technology lets us take great photos on the fly. That includes selfies. But can you count on your phone to avoid those dreaded selfie failures? No matter whether you’ve just bumped into an old friend and would like to snap a picture together, or you’re at the event of a lifetime when the selfie moment strikes and you’re able to capture it, nothing is worse than having to take the same photo multiple times to get a shot good enough to share.

Canadian Olivia Colacci, a popular hair and make-up artist has worked with the world’s leading designers including Chanel, Valentino, Alexander McQueen and Louis Vuitton. Her editorial work has graced the pages of top fashion magazines – so she’s no stranger to beautiful photography.

“When it comes to selfies, I prefer a phone that delivers a professional looking result,” says Olivia. “My favourite is the LG G3 because it has a soft light beauty feature that provides an editorial look with a subtle photo-shopped effect that makes everyone look luminous and flawless.”

Here’s a Selfie 101:

Background check: Give your surroundings a 360 degree inspection to ensure the focus of your selfie will be on you, as a selfie should be. Is a potential photo-bomber lurking close by? Are you in a messy room of your house? Take a step back and observe what might distract from making you look great in every photo.

Ready, set, go: Most smartphone cameras have evolved to offer a selfie-friendly reverse camera, and now the LG G3 smartphone lets you snap a selfie with a simple hand gesture to eliminate awkward angles and give you the most flattering perspective.

The bright side: Any photographer will agree that everyone has a “good side” and there are certain angles that are most flattering. Do some test shots at home to become your most photogenic self, so that every shot is a great one.
