Conclusion

The author

Preface by Antonietta Di Vizia

SELFIE AND MORE is a funny, useful handbook that not only will help you to take nice pictures, but it will also help you in your daily situations, from happy hour to job meetings, where women always try their best to look great.

The author of this manual, Elenia Scarsella, is an amazing, beautiful and intelligent woman: an engineer, but also a talented blogger who won me over in seconds and made me proud of being her friend.

Elenia Scarsella, a Wonder Woman from Rome, can easily change look with just a spin, becoming a hot blogger running on fashion tips and strategic smiles.

Two different souls inhabit in her: one is serious and precise, the other, far more relaxed and cosy, gets out when she removes her engineer suit and puts on her funny and dynamic outfit.

This is the spirit that Elenia used to write SELFIE AND MORE, a small instruction manual to look perfect in pictures.

Not at all pedantic
