But First, Let Me Take A Selfie

But First, Let Me Take A Selfie

Feel like your selfies just don't do you justice? Fear not, my friend. Below are some tips to help you send better selfies and make a great impression. Got your notebook out?

First things first, let's start with the basics:

  • Take off your glasses, hat, hood, etc. You want to show your full face and avoid any distractions.
  • Find decent lighting with a plain background. This will help highlight your best features and avoid any distractions.
  • Look into the lens of the camera. This will make sure you're looking straight ahead and not off to the side.
  • Crop the photo like a professional headshot - head and shoulders (unless otherwise directed). This will give you a more polished look.
  • Follow any additional instructions by the coordinator, they might have specific requirements.

Got the basics down? Good.

Now let's kick them up a notch.

Your selfies might be seen by department heads, AD's, producers, and the director - so make it count!

To level up your selfie game,

  • Use an app to overlay text on the image. Include your name, size and contact info so that everyone knows who you are and how to contact you.

Is that not enough for the perfectionist in you? Same with us.
