How to take pictures of yourself while traveling
At no extra cost to you I get commissions for purchases made through links in this post.
Don’t be afraid to ask strangers to take photos of you. Also give them plenty of direction, like the angle of the picture and anything that you want in the background. I would suggest having them take a burst of pictures and save your favorite one. That way you get a bunch of pictures and only have to ask the person once.
Also fake it until you make it. Even if you are not feeling very confident then just pretend that you are. Self confidence is attractive. People will be able to tell you are not confident in your pictures and your posing.
