It's been proven that the most successful photos on Instagram are the ones that you are in. However, when you become the center of attention, you often become more critical of yourself and your surroundings. Mina Barrio, product photographer at Melon Blanc and social media expert, shows you how to step out from behind the camera and become a protagonist in front of it.
In this course, learn how to take engaging selfies and video selfies from scratch. Mina teaches you important concepts about light, settings, flattering angles, and how to pose with more natural expressions. Master these techniques to make your communication on Instagram more personal and capture your life experiences as memories for both you and your followers.

Description
Start the course by getting to know Mina Barrio, her professional experience, and her studio Melon Blanc. She also tells you about her personal relationship with selfies, her brand on social media, and her work as an online teacher.
Explore the concept of selfies and why it's important to take them both for yourself and to connect with your audience on social media. Practice your selfie skills with a mirror and the front camera on your phone until you find your favorite angels and know how to pose naturally in photos.
Next, Mina shows you how to choose the right indoor and outdoor locations for your photos and highlights key factors to keep in mind like background and lighting. Apply what you've learned to take a collection of selfies, including several full-body selfies using a tripod.
Now it's time to enter the world of video selfies. See how to create a set, write a script, and improve your communication in front of the camera, from posture and poses to speaking confidently and projecting your voice.
To tie everything together, Mina shares some tips on how to edit and retouch your photos and videos. Discover the most common corrections she makes–bags under the eyes, pimples, and redness in the face–and learn how to use her favorite apps like Inshot y Capcut.
