Smart phones are brilliant for taking pictures; you can send ones of the kids to your distant relatives and share your night out on Facebook or send yourself completely naked and ready for action to a lover’s phone.
However, taking a picture of yourself using your phone isn’t as easy as it sounds, you may resort to using a mirror so you can create more than an arm’s length distance between you and the snapper, or you may find yourself contorted into a thousand different positions just trying to get one shot you’re happy with. The new iPhone lets you take pictures that you can see by switching the view finder, yet if you’ve ever tried to hold it far enough away, pose perfectly and press the button at the same time you’ll know how difficult it is.
A camera with a timer maybe a better idea, or even a web cam propped in the right place as you can use your mouse to click removing any evidence that you’ve taken the picture yourself. Although your partner would probably worry if someone else was behind the camera, seeing an arm or thumb in front of the screen doesn’t make for a pretty picture!
Start Small
Instead of concentrating on a full body shot, why not try just taking one good picture of an important part, such as your breasts or if daring your vagina. For a good picture of your breasts you should take the picture whilst standing but put at least one arm above your head. This will make them appear pert! Your most intimate parts should look inviting and an old porno star trick is to use one hand to pull up the skin by resting it on the pubic hair area. This creates smooth lines and removes wrinkles giving an awesome picture. Standing is best however for the ease of taking pictures you may need to sit to reach. If so, choose a hard chair as a soft one will squash your private bits making them look a bit grumpy!
Camera, Action!
If you have the time your webcam can be the perfect tool however don’t use it for taking pictures. Instead make a video. You’re not going to send the video, instead you can pose, move, smile, pout, and then when the two minute silence is up you can check your footage taking the best clips and grabbing screen shots. This ensures you have 2 minutes (which equals hundreds of photos) to choose from. It may be cheating but it’s oh so effective!
Stick it to him
Another way to use your phone is to prop it up somewhere, pose in front of it and then use something long to press the button. This only works if you have an iPhone with a switchable viewfinder. The end needs to be soft as iPhones hate anything that resembles a finger nail or a stylus, so try taping a cotton wool pad to the end of a stick. It’s a faf but it’s worth it.
