Our friends of DIY Photography (link) have shared this easy and useful tutorial by English Portrait / Fashion Photographer Joseph Parry. Self portraits can be a nightmare, but with this method and practice you will get cool a selfie.

Joseph has a new website (link) "Check it out and if you're looking for portraits"

Today I'm running you through how I setup my Canon 6D for those ultra shallow apertures. How to focus and how to use the flash (turn off live view for the flash to work while tethered).

Hope this helps you up your selfie game!

Cheers!

And this is the result:

Selfie with the 85 1.2L. Used the Canon Camera Connect app to tether via wifi for focus. @Neewer softbox and @photrofficial 150x200 reflector on the side. Used the killer 300cm boom stand by @pixapro to hold it (review coming soon). #canon #6d #85mm #model #revenant #portrait #selfie #monochrome #selfportrait #vsco #beard #contrast #shadow #shadows #cinematic #dark #stare #gaze #reflector #softbox #jparryphotography #PhotRofficial #smugmug #gloucestershire #cinderford #forestofdean #neewer #pixapro
