tips on photographing yourself in bras?
Hello! I recently went to Nordstrom Rack to try out the sizing recommendations I received on here, and tried to take some photos to get feedback on fit.
My photos were awful! So...when you are by yourself, in a tiny dressing room with bad lighting, how can you best get helpful shots of, say, the band in the back or underarm area? The slight bit of gaping on the smaller breast, and the slight quadboob on the bigger, on the same bra? I was pressed for time, but didn't know if I should use the camera, reflected in the mirror, or the selfie camera, or twist myself into some sort of yoga pretzel or...?
Thanks, ladies!

Especially in a dressing room, this can be tricky and takes some trial and error.
I like to use the self-timer, with the camera in selfie mode. Then you can see what you're doing and have some freedom of movement.
This does ask for a shelf kind of thing to put your phone on.. Or perhaps a phone cover on a key cord, so you can hang it?
Also the selfie cam in many phones doesn't have a flash, so lighting may be problematic.
Mirror pics can definitely also work!
Details like slight gaping can be really hard to capture. I usually point at or hold the 'problem area' of bra (a cup wrinkle, stabby wire etc.) Good luck!
haha i take awful pics at home w my phone!
