What is a Selfie ?? #Selfie ! A selfie is a type of self-portrait photograph, typically taken with a hand-held digital camera or camera phone. Selfies are often associated with social networking. They are often casual, are typically taken either with a camera held at arm's length or in a mirror, and typically include either only the photographer or the photographer and as many people as can be in focus. Selfies taken that involve multiple people are known as "group selfies" or "ussies". In August 2013the Guardian produced a film series titled Thinkfluencer[1] exploring selfie exposure in the UK.
