How To Take The Perfect Couple Selfie?

Ever wanted something more than a selfie when you’re at a beautiful location. All you need is a tripod and a DSLR. Try set up the camera close to eye level.

Some cameras (e.g. Canon 5D Mark IV) have a self timer. For example, you can input into the camera that you would like to take a photo every 2 seconds for 30 photos. This is our favourite method however there are some other methods that we use.

  1. All cameras have timed shots (e.g. 2 seconds, 10 seconds). However, this will only take 1 photo and then you have to move from your pose back to the camera to release the shutter. 

  2. Using an external shutter release that plugs into your camera. Has the same function as a self timer on the 5D Mark IV so you can input how often the camera takes a photo and for how many photos.

  3. With Canon you can connect to the CameraConnect App through the cameras built in wifi. You can see the composition through your phone and release the shutter with a delay of 2 seconds or 10 seconds.

Alternatives methods to take self portraits are an iPhone tripod (e.g. DJI OSMO OM) or drone (e.g. DJI Mavic Mini).
