SELFIES are a way that you can:
- Express yourself
- Be comfortable in your own skin
- Practice poses
- Practice facial expressions
- Control your own image
I actually feel more comfortable taking my own photo than handing my phone to some one who doesn't know what I like to take it for me. As a photographer I know what I like and I know what I hate. I like the correct lighting, the best pose, and to know if I am making a good facial expression. When I hand my phone to some one to take a quick pic it usually turns out all wrong and I end up being disappointed with it.
Now #5 is very important, especially now a days with social media. Controlling your own image is telling people who you are. Maybe don't take too many selfies by yourself because that might put off the wrong persona. Get a selfie with you puppy, or a group shot with friends. While I like and support selfies I also think you should mix it up a bit.
Well... SELFIE on my friends!
