The best photos are not taken in a studio. They are taken in your bedroom — by you, for you. Here is how.
The Setup
Prop your phone against books on your dresser. Use the self-timer. This is not a selfie. It is a self-portrait. The difference is intention.
The Light
Turn off overhead lights. Use a lamp at eye level or a candle. Natural side light from a window is universally flattering. Candlelight makes silk shimmer.
The Pose
Turn slightly to one side. Look away from the camera — toward the window, the candle, something just out of frame. The most powerful images are the ones where you stop performing for the lens.
