Without a screen facing you, framing is the hard part. An Apple Watch’s Camera Remote shows what the back camera sees. Otherwise, take a test shot, check it, adjust and repeat.

How do I take a selfie with the back camera?
Short answerProp the phone and use the timer, use an Apple Watch as a remote to see the live view, or use a Bluetooth shutter remote. The back camera is usually sharper than the front.
