Wide selfie poses and ideas

By Con, founder of Music Wide Selfie · Updated 22 October 2026

Short answerUse the space: put the scenery behind you, bring friends in from the edges, play with perspective by holding something near the lens, or step back and include your whole outfit.

Scenery

Stand so the landmark or view fills the top half of the frame. Keep your face away from the very edge.

Groups

Arrange people in a curve towards the phone rather than a flat line, so everyone is a similar distance from the lens.

Perspective play

Wide lenses exaggerate closeness. A hand, a drink or a pet near the lens looks huge, which can be fun on purpose.

Movement

Record a short clip walking or turning. The wide view keeps more of the scene in frame as you move.

Questions

Do wide selfies distort faces?

Faces near the edges and very close to the lens stretch. Keep faces nearer the middle.
