How I Take Photos Of Myself // Self Portrait Photography

[@dunnadidit]

*How do you take photos of yourself? Any tips that can make everyone's life easier?*

[@RedempleMarcelo]

Keep smiling on camera ❤

[@idefinedesign]

Since I don't own a camera and shoot everything on my phone I run into this problem a lot. I'm going to see if there are any mirroring apps where I could set up my phone with the Moment app and use my wifes phone to change the settings / take the shot.

[@dunnadidit]

Brent - that’s interesting! Keep me posted if you find something!

[@idefinedesign]

@@dunnadidit , I think I will be able to remote connect through an app like Team Viewer and control it from there but I'll definitely let you know how it turns out. Was definitely inspired by this video. Even being a tech dude, it completely slipped my mind.

[@idefinedesign]

@@dunnadidit , I got it! I installed Team Viewer on both phones. Remote connected from my Wifes to mine and had full control over the Moment App to get the shot. I might actually use this to film, since I'm on mobile and can't see myself. Let's make a video about it lol.

[@nayeemjr6640]

this is every photographers hidden pain...no one photographs the photographer

This is what I wanna say sometimes because I don’t like result.

[@Fausto_moh]

I wanted to start photography as a hobby for the same reason. I wanted nicer photos of myself but thought it was impossible then I learned that self portraits are a huge thing and I'm on my way to learning all I can. Thanks for the extra push to start

So thanks for this video! Also that’s why i love going with other photographers cuz they’ll take good ass photos of me

[@dunnadidit]

Haha I totally hear you!

[@Mia-xh1by]

Straight facts when you talked about getting a camera to take better shots of yourself and instead you take pics of someone else more often 😂👌🏽

[@TryinaD]

I’m glad that I live in a country where almost no one tries to steal your stuff in public! I leave my tripod pretty far away, and on sight in a tourist area.

[@jehkphotography4375]

I find that if you ask a random stranger, he/she wouldn't be able to frame the photo for you just the way you like it! ... And also because some small part of you is scared they might just run away with your gear. :'D

[@dunnadidit]

Yeah, it only really works if the person has a decent eye to start with. Also, stolen gear would suck too.

[@WildEmpress]

I often am out taking photos with my kids, people ask all the time if they can take a picture for me of me and my kids together and I'm always like "NOOOO thanks" But when Im out and see a mom and dad taking turns taking pics of each other with their kids, I always offer to do a group photo for them..and they let me. I haven't stolen a camera yet!

[@TryinaD]

The key is to find the most tourist looking person you can, who is definitely not from the area.

[@RobertMunteanu105]

Definitely helped me. My friends can only hold the camera like baseball club and nothing spectacular would come out of it. Thank you so much ! Just subscribed :)

[@dunnadidit]

Cheers! Thanks for watching!!

[@SamEckholm]

How are you setting the focus remotely? Is that through the app?

[@dunnadidit]

I either trust the af of the camera, or I set manual focus ahead of time.

[@Creative7inc]

the ultimate task. Goes to show how much the market has changed towards individualistic strengths. What I mean by that is you can create professional imagery for your brand completely on your own. Great work man (as always)

In the second method what I do is, I place the camera on ground and now tune the focus on bag or if not ground make sure bag and camera on same line of sight now simply put tripod with camera on same position and now. Jump on to ur bag for perfect focus

[@dunnadidit]

Nice! Thanks for sharing!!

Haha “ohh man it’s starting to get dark” that part?? I do sound pretty Canadian there lol. Glad to hear the video was helpful and that you liked what I was talkin aboot

[@kevinharding1181]

One thing could have added was your camera settings - low light then use auto ISO, unless you really really want that low DoF, use f8 (and be there as the old pros used to say) which will give you a MUCH higher chance of a sharp in-focus shot. Shutter speed at 1/60 if you're holding a pose or 1/160 if you feel there may be some swaying (strong wind perhaps). Loved your review of the Boundary Prima BTW. Size of the camera insert also my major concern - they need to address that.

[@dunnadidit]

Thanks for your input!!

They really need to come out with a better App for doing this. Sony’s imaging edge Mobile just flat out sucks.

[@ActiveDad]

I've searched everywhere, can you help me!? How are you focusing using the Imaging Edge app? What are your focus settings. I can not get my a7 III to focus using the Imaging Edge app.

[@ActiveDad]

Never mind, I figured it out after changing ea option in the camera to see what happens. "Pre-AF" needed to be switched to on.

[@dunnadidit]

Pre-af works more like video mode. So it’s always focusing, not just when you want to take a shot. I can see this being really handy when trying to do this kind of self portrait photography for sure!

[@kristinabarkovic4525]

The bracket that you used for flipping the camera into horizontal mode - which exact product is it? Can you or anyone in here tell me? Is it that the hot shoe thing? New to photography here. Appreciate any help, folks ❤️

Dunna my problem is the focus. Why in AFC mode the camera is unable to focus automatically on the point that I want? I always have this problem ... unfortunately the app does not even allow me to select the focus point 😢

[@dunnadidit]

Yeah they definitely removed the ability to set a focus point from the app but I’m not sure why you wouldn’t be able to from the camera. What’s your autofocus area set to?

are you using your lav mic here?

[@dunnadidit]

If I remember correctly... no. I believe I used an on camera shotgun for this whole video

[@lilafromyoutube]

I need ALL the tips! I usually use the edge app from Sony, but it's not the best. Sometimes it changes focus as soon as I hit the shutter button on the app. Wait, your vlogging with that monitor on top of it? I can barely hold my camera still without it 😂 The scenery looks beautiful and the photos turned out great, sorelle!

[@dunnadidit]

Haha you dropped the Sorelle bomb on me lol. I'm pretty sure she does the same thing with the app. You're totally right that the app isn't the best. It was better with the older cameras when you could use tap to focus tbh. As for vlogging with the monitor... I don't normally do that but I was just testing it out to see lol.

[@lilafromyoutube]

@@dunnadidit haha I meant it as a compliment! If someone calls you Sorelle it means you've got the selfie thing down! How did you like the monitor for vlogging?

[@mike-N6S]

I've had good luck in taking photos of myself in a mirror. The secret is to load the photo into Photoshop or another processing app and flip it so that it's displayed correctly. (I never understand why people take selfies and don't bother to flip them - which can be done in the iphone itself - before posting the photo with things such as logos displayed backwards)

[@dunnadidit]

Good point! If you’re using a mirror or shooting with a phone app that flips it when it takes the photo you should definitely correct that.

[@Micah-Woods]

Since you didn't initially capture in portrait orientation, are you changing that in post to 1:1 then?

[@dunnadidit]

I did some in portrait orientation. Those are the ones that I post for instagram in 4x5 though not 1x1. The landscape ones sometimes I'll crop down... but usually those are just for my personal use or for twitter, youtube, facebook... everywhere but instagram lol.

[@alistairwkershaw]

I'm a fan of using the flip out screen on my Canon, I can compose my shot then use a remote trigger to take it. I find it less laggy than the phone app. It has its limitations as you need to be close enough to see the screen but for those kinda shots it works well.

Dunna Did It thanks mate! I’ll check it out :)

[@dunnadidit]

Let me know if you have trouble and I can try to dig deeper.

That's the case if you're using back focus. You need to set AF on the shutter button for the focus to work through the app.

Can you do eye autofocus from the phone screen?

[@dunnadidit]

It seems to work. Although you don’t see it on the screen. I think it also depends on which camera. The newer ones automatically eye af whereas the older ones you had to have a separate button programmed for it.

[@cbcsurvivalguide]

I noticed that for your self-timer you have the option to set 5 or 10 sec intervals. On my app, I can only select 2 secs. I wonder if this is camera dependent. I'm using an rx100m5. Do you know how to make it so that I can select a longer self-timer then 2 seconds on the app?

[@dunnadidit]

Yeah I think in some of the newer cameras they added more options. I had a few cameras that were 2 or 10 seconds. Then I got 5 later on with another newer camera.

@@dunnadidit Thanks didn't know they did that. What a bummer...

I need some help for focus setting. If I want to shoot self portraits with my girlfriend, I have issue to get sharp photos due to wrong AF. I tried to set AF-C, but if I use Timer function my A7iii says "AF-C is not available with timer". But as I see in your video it should work.

[@dunnadidit]

Hmm that’s odd. Try af-s. Unfortunately, with the timer, it takes the focus at the start of the timer so af-c won’t really do you much good anyway.

[@pippycrystal5786]

Set the focus on your girlfriend first and then join her while the camera continues taking the shots.

[@Aritocats]

[@dunnadidit]

It’s the Sony imaging edge app! 😁

[@Aritocats]

I'm a photographer. Zero matches on online dating apps. Banned from Tinder... I'm ashamed. It's why I'm here! NEED TO UP my self portrait game.

[@TheBeatnikAndrew]

How do you get the camera to focus on your face / eye without holding the shutter or back-button auto focus? I set my camera up on my tripod, but it doesn't focus on me when I go stand in front of it.

[@DanPratama]

I think I really need these. Even my tripod catch a better photo than most of my friends. Gonna try these tripod to the outside I guess.

[@dunnadidit]

Nice!

[@boomboom4941]

Great video, as always!!!

[@dunnadidit]

Thanks a ton!

[@GauravMoon]

hey i just want to do this thing as i want to create a modelling portfolio for myself because i dont want to pay everytime for a portfolio, which latest camera should i go for ? my budget is $850 excluding the lens, please suggest

[@seraiahisrael3512]

This was a great example, I've been wondering how to take portrait of my self

[@drhunter1117]

What’d you suggest ? A6000 with a couple lenses or a6400 with kit lens as my first camera ? I only do photos and I don’t care about videos lol

[@dunnadidit]

Ooooh this is a tough one. I’d probably say a6000 with nice lenses.

[@drhunter1117]

Dunna Did It thanks much for the reply. I started my dreams with a7ii but realized the glasses are going to be too costly. Then a6400 now ended up with a6000 lol

[@dunnadidit]

Haha the a6000 was my first camera and it was awesome!

[@darksideemt]

If you can swing it I suggest A6400 body only and find a good 18-105 used. If not the A6000 is a great start camera but the upgrades that the A6400 come with are worth the price if you can swing it.

[@drhunter1117]

travis branum I bought the a6000 today with kit lens. I will invest in full frame lenses and possibly buy a full frame in the near future. In the photography perspective a6000 feels solid. I’ve also ordered the sigma 16mm as i shoot landscape mostly :-)
