If you want a great photo of yourself to upload onto your social networking page, you will need to follow a few tips.

Difficulty: Moderately Easy
Instructions
  1. Step 1

    To take a picture of yourself, you will want to make sure that you look your best. If you are a guy, shave, fix your hair, and make sure you do not have chapped lips. If you are a girl, do your makeup and fix your hair.

  2. Step 2

    When taking a photo of yourself, you will want to avoid having a head shot with an obvious picture of your arm. You can do this by holding the camera with just one arm. You can also crop out your arm and do a close up of your face.

  3. Step 3

    Upload the pictures onto Picasa. This is a free downloadable program and will allow you to crop, brighten, shade and color your photo in sepia or black and white. You can even make the picture a slight bit blurry and remove any obvious blemishes with the glow feature.

  4. Step 4

    To make your face look thinner, take the photo with the camera above your head, as if it is looking down on you. Look up with your eyes and not with your head.
