A selfie is a photo taken by the photographer of themselves. Selfies are often posted on social media platforms such as Facebook, Instagram, Snapchat etc. as a way to connect with friends and followers and gain recognition. It is also used as a form of communication, as selfies portray how the subject is feeling in that moment and their surroundings, which makes a selfie an accurate form of communication. There are different types and styles of selfies which can be seen by comparing those of Vivian Maier and Kim Kardashian. Maier's selfies can be described as old-fashioned and artistic, as they are black & white with many details. Contrasting, Kardashian's selfies can be described as vivid and modern, as they are very simple in design. However, both still portray a look into each of their lives, making them still a reliable form of communication.
