Experiment with perspective, take a photo from up above your head tilted downward, or lower from the waist. Sometimes it helps to get closer to the subject to fill the frame and get some natural depth of field. Also,a cheap tripod selfie stick works wonders, esp. at night with manual exposure time. And a personal gripe, don't ever ever cut off the feet, people end up looking like cardboard cutouts.
