A selfie (/ˈsɛlfi/)[1] is a self-portrait photograph or a short video,[2] typically taken with an electronic camera or smartphone. The camera would be usually held at arm’s length or supported by a selfie stick instead of being controlled with a self-timer or remote. The concept of shooting oneself while viewing their own image in the camera’s LCD monitor is also known as self-recording
Selfie, as it has become known, is one of the most popular forms of self-portraiture in modern life. The availability of current apparatus allows anyone to produce a self-portrait.
Selfies are often shared on social media, via social networking services such as Facebook, Instagram, Threads, Twitter, and Snapchat. Video selfies longer than several minutes are more likely to fall into vlog category.
