Take Safe Sunless Selfies: How To Take Safe Sunless Selfies – With Daniel Villarreal Of World Art Day
It’s no secret that the rise of social media has forced people to take more and more photos of themselves. It’s a great way to keep in touch with friends and family but it can be dangerous especially when you’re getting ready to head out for the day or night.
One of the most popular ways that people take selfies is by using their cellphone. In order to get a good shot, many times people will end up taking selfies in front of a mirror which makes it easy for them to capture the perfect photo but it also makes it very easy for them to make an unsafe selfie.
What is an unsafe selfie? An unsafe selfie can be anything from texting while driving, walking on train tracks, or taking pictures in front of a mirror without the proper lighting.
If you’re going to take any type of selfie, you need to make sure that you’re doing it safely or you might end up hurting yourself or someone else.
In a world where a picture is worth a thousand words and every industry has been revolutionized by the power of the visual, it’s important to remember that not all images are worth sharing. With the abundance of digital cameras and social media platforms, it’s never been easier to immortalize a moment in history, but more than ever, it’s also never been easier to share an image that may not be secure. And when your photo could harm someone else or yourself, it’s best to avoid taking it at all.
One week into World Art Day, we sat down with Daniel Villarreal, their VP of Marketing and Communications, for some tips on how you can capture your favorite moments safely. Take a look at our interview below!

The name says it all, it was created in order to bring awareness in the photo community about the safe way to photograph yourself especially when you are outside and have nobody to help you. The main idea is to make it more enjoyable for the photographer by removing the fear of making a mistake and looking at yourself through your own eyes.
It is not only for people who want to look like a model, any person can benefit from this workshop because we are all beautiful, even if we think that we are not. This is an opportunity for people to see themselves from a different perspective, which will help them achieve their goals.
This workshop consists of four parts:**
Part 1:** How to take safe sunless selfies? **
Part 2:** How to make sure your lighting will be safe? **
Part 3:** Learn how to edit your photos safely. **
Part 4:** How do I know if my editing is safe? **
I enjoy taking pictures and I love how people are able to share their experiences with friends and family for a limited time. I took my first selfie back in the days of MySpace and it was just of a goofy smile with no one in sight. It was fun but I would never want to leave it on display like that. The advent of Instagram came on the scene shortly after and it is still one of my favorite apps to use today.
Truly, the art of taking selfies has been elevated above that of any other photo. We can see our eyes, we can see ourselves in different poses, we can see ourselves with other people, or even without them if we so choose. But what has really been made popular is the Snapchat filter. These filters (or lenses) give us a new way to show off our best features, whether they be our eyes, noses, mouths or even hair styles.
But sometimes when you’re taking these selfies and you are not looking your best, you may want to take a picture and only share it with yourself for later use. Whether you want to remember that outfit or that hairstyle later, this is where you should think about how to make safe selfies or otherwise known as sunless selfies. Safe selfies are a great idea
If you are familiar with the term “selfie,” then you already know what we’re about to talk about. If not, let me explain. Selfies are photographs of oneself, created by oneself.
The trend in selfies is having more and more filters and effects added to it. From black and white to sepia and even vintage, every filter imaginable is being used in photos all over Facebook, Twitter, Instagram and other social media platforms. And while these filters are fun, they can also be dangerous.
After all, a selfie isn’t really a selfie if no one else can see it! So how do you make sure your selfies are safe?
World Art Day has put together a list of ways that you can safely take selfies without worrying about the damage to your skin or eyes:
It’s hard to tell if the trend of posting safe selfies on social media is a positive thing or not. Selfies are fun, as we all know, but they’re also one of the ways people make themselves vulnerable online. You can hide your face, but you can’t hide your location or other information that could be used against you. By sharing a selfie and tagging it with your location, you’re giving out more information than you might think.
The good news is that selfies can be safe too. All you have to do is a little planning before you take your photo.
Before we get into the nitty-gritty of taking safe selfies, let’s define what we mean by “safe selfie.” A safe selfie doesn’t necessarily mean a selfie without other humans in it. It means that if someone else were to see your photo and use it to find out where you are, there wouldn’t be anything in the photo that would help them do so: no recognizable landmarks; no car license plates; no distinctive clothes (and even if there are clothes that are distinctive to you personally, nothing that would point back to a specific store where someone could buy those clothes).
A safe selfie also doesn’t mean a selfie without you in it. It means that
Selfies can be fun. But if you’re trying to tell a story about the world, you don’t want pictures of yourself in every shot. The last thing you want is to look like you’re bragging about how cool your life is.
So here’s my advice for taking selfies that don’t suck:
1. Find a better angle than “duckface.”
2. Make sure your face isn’t the most interesting part of your photo.
3. Don’t take selfies in public unless you want to embarrass both yourself and everyone around you.
4. People aren’t as interested in looking at other people as they are in looking at stuff.
5. If you’re going to take a picture of yourself, make it good.’
