A selfie is normally a picture somebody takes of themselves, and it is usually with a phone. However, that does not mean that it cant be taken with a camera. many styles of selfies exist. You can take just a normal front facing camera selfie with your phone. You could get a more professional camera, like one of the ones we use in class, and take a picture in the mirror. You could also get a selfie stick and take one from farther away with your phone.
What is a self portrait?
A self portrait is when an artist produces an image of themselves. This can be done with many ways, but the most relevant is when someone takes a photo of themselves. There is almost always an idea behind a self portrait. Which is normally supposed provoke some sort of feeling in the viewer.
So? What's the difference?
When I said earlier that self portraits are supposed to make you feel something. What I really meant is something deeper than "Wow, she's pretty." or "Wow, he's cute." I would also argue that self portraits are really more valuable and meaningful than selfies.
