The accidental selfie
To avoid taking such wonky photos, one thing you can do is try to ask someone else to take your holiday photo for you. This is especially great if you are traveling in a group and want a photo of everyone at once, but do not want to take a selfie.
This method is not foolproof, however, and there are a few reasons why these attempts can go hilariously wrong. For whatever reason, the photographer might not take the shot you want. For example, like in the photo above, he might focus on himself rather than your group! At least the thumbs up shows he’s having a good time.
