FISH GAPE, ABOVIE AND THE LOOKAWAY

– This is how you become hipper on Instagram –

In itself, we can the duckface, the peace sign, and the open mouth count as a trend from last year on Instagram. Okay, I admit, I recently posted it on my timeline too, but I was strongly advised to look at the latest trends to give my account a new boost. So said, so done, and that's why I’m listing the newest ways to post selfies at

on Instagram for you.

Fish gape

The duckface has made way for the fish gape. How? You gently suck your cheeks in and slightly open your mouth, causing your lips to come apart ‘nonchalantly’. For examples, check out the Instagram accounts of Miley Cyrus, Keira Knightley (she's really great at this) and Candice.

Abovie

I came up with this myself since I'm quite dramatic in taking selfies. It does work out well on its own, and together we often get a good photo, but when I’m talking about more than two people, it becomes a whole different story. There’s always someone with a weird mouth or bad hair, and then an abovie is prime. The only thing to watch out for is a double chin that can quickly appear, even if you don’t have one, but the solution is just to crop the photo. It’s that easy.

The lookaway

Also a favorite of mine. Especially don’t look straight into the camera and smile, just look away. Most people actually look a lot better that way. Often the funniest photo comes out when you’re laughing so hard that the photo is taken at that exact moment. Then at least it’s spontaneous. And spontaneous is the best. Yes, it takes some work, but hey, you have to do something for the perfect Instagram photo.
