Let the destination lead
Use the rear camera for the landscape, building, street, museum, café, or viewpoint. Keep the front view smaller unless the traveler’s expression is the main story. This avoids reducing a memorable place to an indistinct background.
Search for space before placing the selfie
Open sky, water, a distant hillside, a plain wall, or an uncluttered pavement edge can hold the front-camera window. Do not cover a landmark peak, sign, artwork, face, or horizon intersection simply because a corner is the default position.
Use split screen for equal stories
Side-by-side works when both the traveler and the place need substantial space, or when two people occupy separate views. Top-and-bottom can suit tall landmarks, overlooks, and scenes with a natural upper and lower division.
Handle difficult travel light
- Turn so the face receives soft side light rather than deep backlight.
- Keep the rear horizon straight.
- Clean both lenses before a once-only viewpoint.
- Step away from crowds before composing.
- Take a test frame and inspect both views.
Keep travel capture private
Bothie composes and saves the result on the device. There is no required social profile or automatic media upload, so a travel photo can remain a private memory unless you decide to share it elsewhere.
Travel selfie questions
Can the selfie window move away from the top corner?
Yes. Place it wherever the rear scene has safe negative space.
Can I make a travel video the same way?
Yes. Bothie supports composed photos and videos, subject to the phone’s concurrent-camera capabilities.
