London, April 25 (IANS) British model Daisy Lowe is used to having her photographs taken for fashion shoots and by her legion of admirers, but she says she’s no good when it comes to taking a selfie.
“I’m not great at taking them. I take them in the mirror and end up with a picture of the back of my phone,” Lowe said.
Even with the advice of her makeup artist, the 26-year-old still hasn’t got the hang of the increasingly-popular type of photograph, reports femalefirst.co.uk.
“My makeup artist always says, ‘Never be anywhere with overhead lighting or side lighting. Never take pictures in a changing room either,” Lowe told Metro newspaper.
When asked if pouting was essential, she confessed: “No, I’m more of a dorky smiler, unfortunately.”
Despite her poor selfie technique, the model admitted she has a love of photography and is an avid user of the photo-sharing website Instagram.
The brunette beauty said: “I love looking at images so Instagram is my favourite.”
She also thinks it’s important to follow people who “make you feel good” or “teach you things”, and she said: “Rihanna is always great to follow.”
