    Loved the tips… now, what about the zoom? Let me explain: when taking selfies our faces looks funny (we can barely see our ears). But when we use the wide angle (rear cameras) what would be the best “zoom” to capture the “real me” image? 😊

    I was in the same situation last year, I had to take a picture for certificate so I went to the bathroom, Turned all lights to disappear some shadows , (was mid day, 2-3pm ) I was looking to the windows and a white towel behind. One Shot was enough. :) only using the portrait mode and I remove the background with an app. (That’s why I used a white towel, easier background eraser) but it’s informative this video also it could be use in any phone with a good app.

    Honestly I found the Raw+ app disastrous today use. Could not figure out how to flip the camera to front mode, nor could I find out how to set the timer. The whole point of this video was to take professional photos yourself, but then you need a “friend” to help you. Good video, but not what probably a lot of us came here for

      As someone who has and android and iPhone, pixel does have goof quality but we all can agree it moves very blurry so when you take the picture it’s blurrier then the actual lense, my advice is find a place with good lighting because the pixel won’t do much

    No. Sorry. As a professional Headshot photographer I can not believe this is supposed to be a good headshot. Lens distortion but even more important: no good posing and expression. Only 0.1% of people will be able to pose themselves and trigger an expression in their face that a pro would do. Better than a really bad selfie, but still it's an only an ok selfie.
