10 Tips to Take the Best Selfies at The Selfie Co. — Minnesota’s Top Selfie Museum

Capture your best angles at The Selfie Company! Discover 10 insider tips—from lighting and props to composition—that make every selfie shine in our immersive themed sets.

Whether you're a selfie veteran or just looking to level up your social content, The Selfie Co. in Albertville, MN has picture-perfect backdrops waiting for you. With 15+ immersive themed rooms, bright lighting, and creative props, it's Minnesota’s go-to experience for next-level photos. Here are 10 tried-and-true tips to help you capture your best side (or sides!) on your next visit.


The Ultimate Tip List

  1. Find the Best Light
    Most of our rooms include built-in studio lighting—but side light can be your secret weapon. Angle the light across your face for flattering shadows.
  2. Play with Layers and Props
    Use provided props—like frames, signs, and quirky hats—to add context, humor, or seasonality to your selfies.
  3. Use the ‘Rule of Thirds’
    Position your face off-center and align your eyes along the top horizontal line—that natural composition makes your shots pop.
  4. Experiment with Angles
    High angles make eyes look bigger; low angles can feel dramatic. The freedom of our open sets lets you test both.
  5. Rotate with the SpinPix 360 Booth
    Our SpinPix 360 booth gives dynamic movement shots—great for eye-catching social content. Let the booth and lighting do the work.
  6. Sneak in a Friend or Two
    Selfies with friends add energy. Grab a group pic near our colorful backdrops—or do coordinated jumps or dance moves.
  7. Time to Strike a Pose
    Try relaxed, candid poses—like looking away, whispering to a friend, or mid-laugh—for a natural, Instagram-ready look.
  8. Change Your Expression
    Switch it up between smiles, serious looks, goofy faces, or even dramatic pouts. Your gallery will tell more of your story.
  9. Blend Backdrops for Variety
    Pop from neon rooms to cozy fall-themed setups in one session. You’ll boost your content variety for Feed, Stories, and TikTok.
  10. Capture in Burst or Timer Mode
    Use burst mode when jumping or moving, or a 3–5 second timer to position yourself precisely. Great hits often come from unexpected frames!
