Photographers know all about the rule of thirds, but seem to forget it quickly as soon as it comes time for a selfie. Selfies don’t exempt you from properly composing your shot!
The photo on the right is a perfect example of how placing your face in the top-right or top-left corner of the frame can be far more compelling than if you placed your face right in the center.
Generally, you want your eye line to be one-third down from the top of the frame, and off to one side of the frame a little bit. Just don’t put yourself in the very middle of the frame or it’ll look like a DMV driver’s license photo.
