Try using a variety of different facial expressions over the course of a few shots. This will give you plenty of options when it comes to picking a laid-back shot. You can also try including your hand, shoulder, or arm in the shot; that can often make you look more casual.

Experiment with the filters you have at your disposal. That's an easy way to make your shot look a little more creative. You can also play with different light and shadow configurations to hide parts of your face or body.

I want to take a photo without my face showing, since I might want to put it on social media. How can I do this without looking weird?

Position your phone in front of your face, so that it covers it. Or, find a mirror and position your phone so that the top of the mirror crops out your head. Or, lastly, simply snap the pic and then crop out your head on your phone!
