Finally, a word on post-processing. With a world of filters and photo-editing apps at our
disposal, it's easy to go a bit crazy with the effects. However, indiscriminate use of

filters can rob your picture of subtle contrasts and background details. Instead, tweak
individual elements, such as the exposure, color balance, or contrasts till you get the
result you want. Many smartphones, such as the Lava Z10, offer beauty modes with
options for face slimming, skin smoothening, or eye widening, which enhance specific
features without affecting the whole image.

Pro-tip: Think of a selfie as your personal canvas and make use of the host of photo-
editing apps out there to improve your photos even further.
