All the things we’ve talked about in these last few weeks have been about feminization in action. Wrapping up our series of presenting yourself to the world in a beautiful way, I thought I would devote a week to taking the perfect sissy selfie.
Lighting and pose
Find the light. Always choose natural light whenever possible. Don’t use the flash if you can help it.
Find your best side. Take a picture from both sides of your face. Everyone has a best side, and once you find it, you know from which angle you will always look your most beautiful. Practice posing, make it natural. Remember your hair often has a best side, as well. Sissies know how to work it!
Extend your neck forward. This will help with any double-chin issues and accentuate the jaw line.
Snapping that pic
It’s all about placement. Make sure your face is in the top left or top right of the frame of the photo, avoiding putting yourself in the center of the picture, which looks very generic.
Get creative sometimes. Maybe you have a fun accessory to show off , a new haircut, a necklace that shows off your cleavage….maybe you’ve been playing with makeup and want to show off! Let them see it in your selfie!
Consider a full-length pic. Adjust your body so that your hip is leaning to the same side you are holding the camera in. Your oppposite shoulder should come forward a little and your free hand can be at your side or sit sassy on your hip. Practice standing like this before doing it. Make it natural. Also, be mindful of what’s behind you. Pick a fairly clean and non-cluttered space, make sure there is nothing gross or embarrassing in the background.
Don’t be cheesy. Don’t over-pout or flash the infamous ‘duckface’. And don’t try to make a picture look like someone else took it. Just be yourself!
Selfie sticks aren’t evil. Selfie sticks get alot of bad press, but sometimes, they can really help you take a good pic. I have one, and it’s great not only for pics of just me, but it makes things with my girlfriends easier, too. Perfect when you’re out with your friends and want to get a pic of the group.
Presenting your beautiful self to the world
Play with filters. Your phone likely has a filter function that can add an interesting something-extra. The brightly colored filters aren’t the ones I mean. My phone has a black and white and a sepia-colored filter that I have used on occasion.
Have fun with social media. There are ways beyond Facebook to display yourself. Look into Instagram and Twitter if you’re so inclined. Have fun with it!

‘Fine Tuning Your Feminine Self’ was a fun series to write, and I hope you all enjoyed it. We’re starting something new next week, and as your Feminization Mistress, I can’t wait to start!
Ms. Amber, this is a great episode of the Academy!
I LOVE getting pictures from sissies. They show off lingerie or pretty dresses, or even wild, frilly over the top sissy maid dresses and gowns! I love your tips in this! It really hits the spot. Better pictures rock.
Heck, I might even try these tips out for my auction pics!!
Oh, I love getting pics, too. So exciting to see what these pretty sissies come up with when they’re home alone!
Great tips on how and when to take selfies this is what every sissy needs. Because as a sissy you want the pictures to be true to reality, flattering and authentic. And remember the colors sissy wears in photos send all kinds of signals so select your colors carefully.
Thanks, Miss Cindy! You are definitely right about the colors. There are some things that must be kept in mind, but it’s all worth it. There’s simply no substitute for a perfect selfie!
Amber, this post was very informational. I plan to use some of these tips for my own selfies. I promise, no duck lips! The part about good lighting is absolutely necessary, as well as catching your good side. It is important for sissies to catch their authentic selves to show the world. One thing I will add, the use of contouring and highlighting for any media is important. Playing down the things you want to camouflage and accentuating your best features are good rules to follow also.
I could not agree more, Miss Lena. I definitely hope these tips help everyone!
