Allow us to introduce you to the belfie, aka, the butt selfie. (Yes, that is a real word, no, it’s not technically in the dictionary yet .) It’s when you, a camera-phone-owning hottie, stand in front of a mirror or your phone and snap a pic of your glorious behind. Clothes are optional, but if you’re going to send a naked butt selfie to someone, just, ya know, be careful. Revenge porn is real. However! An ~appropriate~ belfie is allowed and encouraged on Instagram, because you should absolutely be proud of your ass, and you should absolutely want to share it with the world. Big, small, square, round, curvy, flat—it doesn’t matter! All belfies are created equal, thank you very much.
Now, the technical part: The ideal butt selfie isn’t as easy to achieve as a regular, front-facing, “hi, here’s what I look like during golden hour” face selfie . Capturing your ass’ perfect plumpness requires a certain level of expertise, which is why we tapped some social media influencers who know a thing or two about prime photo-taking poses and techniques. So without further ado, read on for the tips and tricks you need to know to execute the perfect belfie if you 1) have a booty, which, hi, is all of you, and 2) are ready to take it to Instagram . And yes, you're definitely going to want to bookmark this one.
I'm pretty sure Instagram was invented for the sole creation of the belfie. The whole butt-fixation thing really got going back in 2015. Now, even though it’s the year 2022, we still can’t get enough. But do you blame us? With so many new influencers, fitness models, and body positive activists, butt selfies are one of the best things about scrolling through ze 'gram.
So peep the below pics from body positive influencers who will make you feel good about your body. Notice what they do with their legs, how they position their hips, where they put their hands, and tailor your poses to theirs. Here are some basic examples:
The good thing about your iPhone or Android is that it has tons of versatility for making sure you look as great as possible. Not only does using your own personal photo make things look more casual and less staged, but it’s handheld—which means it’s super easy and quick to send off to whomever you want to impress.
Pro tip: "Use the regular camera, not selfie style," suggests Instagram yogi and influencer Jessamyn . This will make your photos look more ~natural~.
I know I said all belfies are created equal, and they are! But there's a difference between a belfie in front of a streaky mirror with a square view of your toilet, and a belfie with nothing to distract the viewer but your perfect booty. Make sure to pick a setting that makes sense for what you're wearing, and that you're the center of attention—not whatever's going on behind or around you.
"Whether it is natural lighting, golden hour, a ring light or flash on your phone, lighting can change the look and the vibe of your selfie," says model Catherine Li . Her personal fave: natural lighting.
Unfortunately though, phones don’t capture too well in darkness, which can make it a lil difficult to find the best angle. Your solution: a ring light .
Literally all of the famous TikTokers out there have one. You can even buy a stand that holds your phone in between the ring light so you can just snap away without having to hold the phone in your hand.
Again, don't feel like you have to change anything about that beautiful selfie of yours, but if you want to try it with a filter or edit the background, there are so many amazing apps out there that help with a natural-looking color tone too. (Pro tip: Try Lightroom or Nomo ).
Whatever you want to wear and whatever makes you feel sexiest is what you should show off in your belfie picture. For body positive advocate and trainer Anna Victoria, high-waist pants are her go-to. “They accentuate the difference between your waist and booty,” she says.
If you want to go for a sexier look, try out some lingerie options that will make your partner go all kinds of crazy when receiving your pic.
For the classic belfie pose, “Position your hips away from the mirror, then twist your upper body toward it to keep your booty front and center,” says Anna, admitting that yep, “It’s a bit uncomfortable.”
If you're not really digging that position, there’s the option to bend over so your booty is hovering over the phone. It’s a low-angle, which makes your ass look enormous in the best kind of way. Just hold your phone and place it below your booty while standing. Then, by using the left-hand iPhone Volume button to secure the pic, snap it at just the right angle.
Another pose: The casual looking-over-your-shoulder mirror one. It doesn’t have to be in front of a mirror (but if you’re the one taking the picture yourself, it will have to be). All you have to do is face opposite the mirror, pick up your right leg, pop your foot, lean on your left hip, and look over your shoulder in whatever way’s comfortable.
And last but not least, feast your eyes on the seated pose. Best photographed on the beach by the water, it's when you kneel on the ground with your legs slightly apart. Have a friend help you take this one, as you'll want to be facing away from the camera or peeking cheekily over your shoulder.
In general, "get really comfortable with all of your angles, even the ones you think are bad," says Jessamyn. Her advice: "Imagine you’re making love to yourself when you’re taking the photo."
…or at least a response that’s like, “Umm, your ass looks amazing” followed by a billion drool emojis.

One of the interesting side effects of recent self-isolation measures is that people seem to be getting hornier. Maybe it’s a primal response to the anxiety of the moment, or a desire for human contact that has hardened into something more carnal. Perhaps it’s just the nice weather. But unless you’re quarantined with a regular or potential sexual partner, your options for having sex with another person are limited. Which leads me to my point: It’s a good time to take some nudes.
Whether you’re replenishing your stash or have free time and want to experiment with your living room’s flattering 2 p.m. lighting, now is the moment to take, and perhaps send, some naked photos. (Of course, you’ll first want to make sure the receiver wants to receive your photos.)
Below, our best advice on how to take a great nude, whether or not you own a full-length mirror.
Natural lighting is generally good, so if you have a room in your matchbox apartment that gets some sun in the afternoon, take advantage of it on your lunch break. If not, a well-placed desk lamp is very useful. My friend Jane suggests setting your light source up so it comes from a single angle, which means you can work more easily with shadows; Annabelle, another friend, recommends two different light sources for further fine-tuning. Both lean toward using a warm (yellow-colored) light — “it’s more flattering and less clinical-looking,” Jane explains. (If you only have cool white light, try draping a thin colored scarf or blouse over it to change the tone.)
Also consider candles, which serve all of the above purposes and are useful if you’ve missed peak daylight hours. And two words: string lights. They create a similar effect as candles, and you don’t have to roll around nude near a naked flame.
Avoid the following objects, which make for rather bleak milieu: toilets, trash cans, large piles of laundry, dirty dishes, and litter boxes.
What to include instead: books, candles, plants, clean furniture, exposed brick, attractive lamps. Props, too, are useful — think fruits, flowers, rope, a baguette; in general, the idea is not to distract but to enhance. That said, the nude is extremely subjective, and a lot depends on what you want to communicate. For passion, try a bitten lip and lacy bra . For indifference, maybe leave that pile of laundry in the shot. Adjust accordingly.
So your only mirror is in your dingy little bathroom. It’s fine; mirrors are not necessary for an excellent nude. This is where the belly-flop nude comes in: You take it while lying on your stomach on your bed. It’s perfect if you’re a little bloated or sleepy.
Here’s what you do: Lie on your tummy and either bend your knees to push your butt up, or place a pillow under your thighs. The idea is to highlight the curve of your back and butt.
Another simple, mirror-free approach: Sit on the side of your bed (or a couch) and take the photo from above. It highlights the chest and thighs and is an easy option in terms of setup and execution. Take it completely nude, or with saucy undergarments.
There’s also the bathtub nude. This can be of anything! Take a photo of your knees, feet, legs, whatever. The way the water captures the light is very pleasing, and you can also use things like bubble bath to your creative advantage: Conceal and reveal to your heart’s content.
Mirrorless nudes are also a good opportunity to take a more discreet photo. Don’t underestimate the power of suggestion; the sending of a nude is all about the sensual energy of sharing something intimate, like a stolen kiss or a secret. For this, Jane suggests a “pouty lip and exposed shoulder combo.” Drape a robe, loose top, or bed sheet around your body, and shrug it off of one shoulder. Then, take the selfie so that it cuts off right above your lips, exposing the shoulder, throat, and maybe a little bit of cleavage. The photo is ostensibly chaste, but the effect is very sexy and a bit boudoir.
Congratulations!
