The Self Portrait vs The Selfie

    A selfie is a very popular form of photography in today's social media. The selfie is a way that many people take pride in and use for an identity on social media. But, many people argue that the selfie is just something for social media and should not be taken as seriously as the self portrait. 
    The self portrait is taken on a more professional camera, unlike a phone camera for a selfie. Like selfies, self portraits can be taken in a mirror and be used with different types of extensions. On an iPhone, selfies can be taken on tripods, selfie sticks, and other devices specially made for smart phones. You can also take selfies on go pros. Self portraits can be taken mostly using tripods or propping up the camera due to stability issues.
    Although both forms of photography can be seen as similar, one version seems to be taken more serious than the other. Self portraits are more professional way to present an image. Due to how simple and uncomplicated taking a selfie is, it has become a social media milestone for this century.
