Selfie

A selfie is a self-portrait photograph taken by an individual, typically using a smartphone or a webcam. It is often characterized by an informal and casual style, capturing the subject's face and upper body, sometimes with a background highlighting a particular location or event. Selfies are commonly shared on social media platforms for personal expression, communication, and social interaction. The term has become widely recognized with the rise of mobile technology and social media in the 21st century, often associated with the culture of sharing personal experiences and self-representation online. Selfies can vary in context, ranging from casual snapshots to more artistic and staged images.
