While searching Pinterest for something new I found two things : one is the picture below that actually attracted my eye balls to stay at it for a few while & the second one is more interesting thing than this which is actually a websites link that tells us how to take a self portrait. The tips mentioned in it can be used atleast once in our life for a portrait picture along with self credit.
