There are so many budding amateurs on here ... be prepared to be inundated

But best advice ... just relax, be yourself and don't fake or force a pose

Mine get fabbed and I enjoy taking them, but I don't think that qualifies me as Good.

For what its worth.. good lighting helps, notice how it highlights certain muscles in my pics? Shadows emphasize certain features. Play with basic filters on your phone, not so much that it distorts what you look like, just to change a mood of a photo.

Don't be afraid of striking a pose Have a look at other men's profiles, see which of their photos look good. Put your camera on multiple shot timer and get snap happy. out of the 50 or so you take, you may be happy with three of them. It's worth all the mucking about if you feel you've captured an image of yourself that reflects a little about who you think you are.

I think it's just a case of having ideas and experimenting. You can ditch the umpteen outtakes (I know I do)

Use Snapchat op. You can be a cute little kitty or a dog. Or even better! A fox!

I was telling you this on the Snapchat thread but that got deleted too G x

Thank you. I mean the ones I don't upload, though. It takes me 5-10 goes to find one I'm happy with.

- Downlighting.

- Black and white filter.

- Tense every muscle until they cramp and you can't breathe.

That's what I do anyway

Failing that: be a woman

Will do the 1st 3, as the last one would take time and i would imagine lots of money for me haha!!

Also helps that you 2 are amazingly ripped and fit

I'm not that fussy, and there's only so much I can do to make myself look good

Taking a good “selfie” is like trying to give yourself a blow job.

In both cases, get someone else to do it.
