When you’re taking pictures of yourself, don’t use a mirror, it’ll double the dirt and distort you. Just put your phone on a little tripod (very cheap) at waist level roughly 6 feet away, and use the self-timer. Try not to go any lower, that’s how you look like a giant with a chin. Too high above you, and you can look like you have a massive had, and a small body.

Face the light source, not away from it, and diffuse lighting is generally better.

There’s loads of posing guides out their, generally just try to get your whole body standing up. Maybe hit THE POSE.

Oops, forgot to hit post when I first finished, no matter.

    I had a surprisingly great morning, I met a new person vaguely in my community circles who said I always looked “immaculate” with my outfits. She’s cis, asked me my pronouns in a nice way, and said she was surprised I’d only been medically transitioning for less than a year. I mean cis people don’t really know a lot about transition but I’ve had a similar reaction from some trans girls I’ve met recently. I think the secret is I spent a few years being gender non conforming and then non-binary so I played around with fashion a bunch then. Also I guess I was medically transitioning prior when I took finasteride at above the recommended doses as an experiment now that I think about it.

    Then another acquaintance started chatting to me, she was driving my way, so she gave me a lift, we got coffee at my destination and chatted a bunch. She’s mention decolonization and pro-Palestine, which was neat, I managed to pump the breaks and say yeah I was left-wing/historically progressive instead of spouting too much about the Immortal Science. Seems like we might be friends which is great. Then I saw another trans girl I didn’t know in the wild at the place I was shopping (like a handmade crafts and antique warehouse). We did the little acknowledge we’d seen each other hello and went on our ways.
