Yes, a remote shutter will help, but the easier thing to do is to use the shutter delay so you can press the shutter button and have the photo taken a few seconds after you press it, once your hand has finished moving.

I disagree with holding your breath – you’d be possibly self conscious about doing so and it might cause more camera shake – breathing out – yes – taking deep breathes before hand – yes

Mostly everything has been said about stabilising your camera and pushing or squeesing the button, also concentrate to remain in the position for that fraction of a second longer and not rush the shot. About image stabilisers in new generation gear, they need to be turned off as soon as your camera is being used on a tripod or other solid type of support as the sensors will start to “hunt” for movement once none is found and then induce shake. They default to “stabilser” off or a bypass setting when used on time delay and remote or cable release but cannot identify being stabilised by a tripod or beanbag yet, i think…..

There’s another way to steady the camera when hand holding is to improvise by using a long sturdy string. Here when I don’t have a tripod I will loop the string under for me to step on and stretched it up to my eye level, making it taut and take the shot. I find it does help eliminate the shake that causes blurry pictures! Long cotton shoe string, macrame, etc works. Add the other tips like ramping up the ISO; turning on the stabilization feature; turning on the timer etc helps too.
