Her latest book on that subject is Capturing and Sharing the World.  I am 
willing to sell my copy as I have gotten what I need from it.  It is in two 
braille volumes.  Let me know if interested.

Hello,

All the feedback provided here has been great. 
In addition, I think it is important to learn 
about how photography and cameras work, and to 
learn where the camera is on your particular 
device, how wide the angle of your camera is 
(which is part of the reason it may be good to 
take portraits) and what else may be captured 
that is in your background (hint, it's not 
likely to be the lower part of your body unless 
your phone is angled with the camera pointed at 
the lower part of your body.) Cameras are all 
different. Different phones have different 
cameras that are able to see at different angle 
width, work in varying lighting situations, etc. 
This is why, I believe, it may be helpful to 
read reviews of a phone from an individual that 
can talk about issues and quirks with the camera.


So, some picture-taking tips, then:

* The farther your hold your phone away from 
you, or the farther you are away from the 
camera, the more general picture you'll take, 
and the more of your body will be in the 
picture. Counter to that, the closer you have 
the phone, the lmaller of an area you will be 
taking a picture of. This is because, in a way, 
a camera is essentially seeing similar to a 
cone. The closer to the device you are, the 
narrower the view, the farther, the more is seen.
* These days, phones do pretty well with image 
stabilization, but it is still good to try to 
steady your hand as you take a picture. Using 
voice commands, volume buttons, etc., can help 
with this. Holding your elbows close to your 
body can help with steadying your arms as well.
* Even with night mode, and as good as cameras 
have become, it is still vital to understand 
your lighting. Too dark, and your image may not 
turn out the way you like. Too bright, and same 
thing happens, though for different reasons. Try 
to avoid glare or taking a picture directly into 
the sun. Try to avoid super dark photos.


There are lots of guides for taking a good 
selfie, and they can make for interesting 
reading. They aren't all super visual, and it 
really can help to understand the concepts 
behind picture-taking if you want to get good at 
taking pictures of yourself, or anything else for that matter, including OCR.


Of course, you can also use Aira as well and 
forget much of what I've said here.

I would recommend Judy Dixon's book, Capturing and Sharing the World from 
National braille press; available in word and epub as well as braille etc.
Here is a link to a review from Access World  that should help you decide 
whether to buy the book:

Re: how to take a good picture of yourself

[Donna Casteen]

If I hold my arms straight out in front of me & my face is in focus, I get an 
head to chest photo. That is what I've been told anyway.

RE: how to take a good picture of yourself

[Sieghard Weitzel]

I assume if your arms were long enough you could take a picture of your whole 
body. Joking aside, a normal selfie typically gets your head and shoulders, if 
you were holding the phone so your head would be at the very top of the picture 
it may get more of your upper body. But just in case you may want to wear pants 
when you do it 藍

It is absolutely possible to take a good selfie, easiest would be to double tap 
and hold on the Camera app and select Portrait Selfie from the context menu, 
then hold the phone at arm’s length and listen to Voiceover telling you if you 
have to tilt right or tilt left and whether it can detect a face and if it is 
centred.

If this is difficult you can always call Aira and they can tell you how to hold 
your phone and once in a good position they can take the picture for you and 
email it to you. This would all be possible with the free 5-minute call option.

Re: how to take a good picture of yourself

[Richard Turner]

Hi Dennis,
Yes.
VoiceOver will tell you how many faces, if any, it sees, and where they are, 
centered, near top left, etc.
So open the camera app.
Find the camera chooser button and double tap so it uses the front facing 
camera.
If you have a tripod, that will make things easier, but move the phone until it 
says one face, centered, and squeeze the volume up button and it should take 
the picture with less shaking than trying to double tap the take picture button.
Or, use Aira and get them to take your picture with your phone.
HTH,





Richard

I have been using this app for taking selfies for many years. I find it to be 
more accurate than Apple's photo guidance facial feature.
