Capturing self-portraits has nothing to do with stretching out your arm with your smartphone pouting a duck face. It's a type of photography like any other. And any photo that you see online can be replicated with you as the model.
You are your best model.
This is why you are your best model. You have access to yourself every second, minute, and hour of every day.
You know exactly how you want to look in photos, and you have enough time, patience, and energy to practice repeatedly until you like what you see!
People always add an element of interest to photos. By adding yourself to a photo even in a very small way, you always have the perfect accessory on board.
