This has a (bra related) point, I promise.
A few years ago, I decided/realized that I don't usually photograph well, even though I am attractive. So I blamed it on the prevalence of airbrushing, filters, and my disregard of daily makeup, and tried not to be so unkind to myself when I disliked my (rare) selfies. Which is fine when I'm talking about my face.
But how, by all that's busty, do I take better body selfies? Every time I try to take a picture of a bra that I'm wearing, I end up with shots that either fail to show the problem, or they make something else look more problematic than it actually is. Obviously I can include notes, but any other tips, such as mirror usage, best arm angles, etc, would be greatly appreciated.

if you're using a cell phone camera, set the phone up on a small bean bag or something to keep it stable. Put the phone right in front of a mirror, this way what you see in the mirror will closely resemble what is captured with the camera. Set the phone to voice control so you can command the phone to take the picture by speaking. I have a droid phone and the voice command is "capture". I make sure that no one is within ear shot when i do this because i feel weird talking to my phone.
The other thing to keep in mind is lighting. Lighting can make or break a photo, be aware of shadows that are being cast by the lighting, Digital cameras, especially on phones will adjust the exposure for the brightest area in the photo so any shadows in the image will be really really dark. And white balance on the camera can make colors and skin tone way off (but that is another topic you could spend days talking about).
Omg, i didnt even realize you could set up the phone that way and voice activate - i have still been using it by holding it lol.
my photos in the mirror are never sharp (i have a cheap phone). But i just try to find the angle that makes the flaw look as clear as possible and make sure to take the pic from that angle.
