What is the point in taking a selfie?

So all the time I will go on Instagram and see pictures of my friends taking selfies(iPhone pictures of them looking at the camera.)I'm not criticizing or anything, I just want to know what the point of taking a selfie is.

It is not unusual for an artist to draw self-portraits as they learn how to draw faces. Thus a photographer can learn a lot about lighting by using themselves as a model.

Yes, most of the "selfies" you see are more narcissistic than attempts to lean something about light and posing a model, but they do reduce the number of times they get asked the question, "Where can I see a photo of you?"

1. A "photo-a-day" project. Take a photo everyday for a year and see how much you change.
2. Narcissism
3. Boredom
4.So that Instagram actually has photos on their photo-sharing platform.

  • Why won't my iphone 6 work on selfie stick? I bought a selfie stick at five below and the brand is infinite if that even matters. I've tried plugging in the white cord thing and it works with my moms Iphone6 plus but will not work with my iPhone6 please help thank you
  • Survey: When was the last time you took a selfie? *duckface, cleavage showing, slight bend in hips, iPhone above head, takes photo* JK, i'm not them type of girls.
  • Selfie stick that works with snapchat? I was wondering if there's a selfie stick that works with the snapchat camera on an iPhone 5 device. I have been on "SelfieStickUk" and they say they are only compatible with "older Iphone models". What does that even mean? Why can't they be specific?
  • Selfie stick for iphone 6plus? My daughter is going to the beach with some friends and is looking for a cheap selfie stick. We noticed that rue21 has some, but they do not say for iphone 6plus. Does anybody own a 6plus and use a rue21 selfie stick?
