selfie pose

Photo-ready body position

A selfie pose is a deliberate positioning of the face, body, or hands when taking a photograph of oneself.

Common selfie poses include the duck face, the peace sign, and the arm extended overhead to create a flattering angle.

The term acknowledges that selfies are rarely candid—most involve some degree of self-conscious arrangement: She practiced her selfie pose in the mirror.
