A step by step guide with pictures (Modeling done by Jarvis):

1. Get your selfie game face on

Jarvis prefers the 'fierce' selfie game face, but you may prefer something more natural.
Jarvis prefers the ‘fierce’ selfie game face, but you may prefer something more natural. Just do whatever is the most comfortable for you.

2. Find a scenic place for the pic (Place where absolutely no one can see you or the slightly inhuman faces you make: acceptable  Place where absolutely everyone can see you and be disturbed by your slightly inhuman faces: unacceptable)

3. Take the pic

Here, Jarvis decided to tone down his 'fierce face' but as you can see, he still manages to pull off the look quite well

4. Hate the pic

5. Delete the pic

6. Take the pic again, this time showing less of your face

Despite less of his face being shown, Jarvis still manages the look by staring off dramatically into the distance. You may find this a helpful trick while mastering the selfie

When completed correctly, the end result should look something like this:
