Hey there, selfie enthusiasts! If you’ve ever found yourself taking the same old boring selfies in the car, you’re not alone. Recently, I stumbled upon a TikTok video that opened my eyes to a whole new world of car photography. Inspired by the creativity of TikTok, I decided to dive into the realm of car selfies, and I must say, it was an adventure worth sharing!

Let’s face it: the car is like our second home. Its where we jam out to our favorite tunes, sip on our go-to drinks, and prepare for life’s big moments. So why not make the most of it with some killer selfies!? Armed with the tips from the TikTok creator, I set out to capture a few shots that would make the most seasoned influencer to take notice.

In this shot, I wanted to channel that effortless coolness. With my hair flowing and a thoughtful pose, I aimed for a candid look that says, “I’m deep in thought … or just deciding what to have for lunch.” The play of light and shadows creates an intimate atmosphere, making the viewer feel like they are sharing a moment with me.

Next up, I donned my favorite beanie and jacked for a more laid-back vibe. This snapshot captures that, “I just rolled out of bed but still look fabulous” energy. It’s perfect for those chilly mornings when you want to look stylish without putting in too much effort. Plus, the darker background really adds a touch of mystery!

In my final pic, I went for an iconic look with oversized glasses. This shot screams, “I’m too cool for school!” It’s perfect for sunny days when you want to hide those tired eyes but still look chic. The contrast between the shades and the soft light surrounding me creates a striking image that’s both fun and fashionable.

If you’re inspired to try your hand at car selfies, here is how I created these photos:

  • With your phone click on your camera app, have the camera switched to back camera and you will place it on the dash near the steering wheel.
  • Switch over to Portrait mode and select Contour light.
  • Tap on the brightness and put it to -1.7.
  • Select (f) focus and put it to -2.0.
  • Select 1x for the lens.
  • Rotate the phone upside down and place the phone on the dash.
  • Snap the photos.

Lighting is the key – natural light can make/break the photo. Position yourself to take advantage of sunlight streaming into your windows for that perfect glow. Don’t be afraid to try different angles. Shoot from above, below, or even straight on to see what works best for you. Add accessories like hats, sunglasses, and even your favorite drink which can add personality to your shots. Think about what represents you and your mood. Authenticity shines through in photos. Whether you are striking a pose, candidly laughing, let the real you come out.

There you have it! My foray into the world of car selfies, all thanks to a little inspiration from TikTok. Next time you hop into your car, grab your phone, and unleash your inner selfie star. Who knows? You may just discover a new favorite photo that captures your unique style and spirit!

Happy Snapping!
