Find the right light: Try to find a natural source of light, such as sunlight or a well-lit window. If you're indoors, use artificial lighting that doesn't cast shadows on your face.

Correct posture: Keep the camera at eye level and try to stand up straight. For profile selfies, slightly tilt your head to one side; for close-ups, lower your head a bit.

Facial expression: Smile naturally or use a facial expression that reflects your mood. Avoid forced smiles or grimaces.

Composition: Try to include interesting elements in the background, such as landscapes, objects, or friends. If you're alone, try creating an interesting effect with your hand or arm behind you.

Focus: Make sure the camera is focused on your face before taking the photo. Otherwise, the result may be a clear shot of the top half of your body and a blurred face.

Stable camera or motion: Try to keep the camera steady for at least the duration of the exposure to avoid blurry or distorted photos.

Edit with care: If you want to edit the photo, do so moderately to preserve its natural beauty. Avoid excessive photo retouching or manipulation that could make the image look artificial.
