A photo taken by someone in the photo. A selfie is a self portrait of yourself, taken by you. The selfie is normally taken on a mobile phone camera, and normally put onto social media. A selfie could represent many different things, for example it could be a way of expressing your feelings, -A way of telling others how you feel of yourself. -A way of experimenting. -A way to see if you look different on camera then in person.
Differences Some pictures are very bright, they have loads of colours in they and normally bring the atmosphere up when you look at it.Some other pictures may be very dull, they may not have as much colour.Or if they do the colours are very dark and they normally are based on very sad things so when looking at it,i t brings a very depressing mood.
Selfie Homework: Research self portrait in are and photography.The difference between self portrait in art and photography is, photography is something you have to capture in the moment in time, where as in art the artist is drawing/painting something thats in front of them for a long period of time. Artist are able to look and expand the person they are drawing for along period of time, they are able to look as many times they want and are able to change every little detail.Where as with photographers they are only able to catch a good photo is a very short amount of time,the reason for that is because they may see something good in something but might not be able to find it again, or even be able to get the right framing of the photo or the right size to photograph it on.

Personally I dislike this photo, because the photo was ,meant to be a selfie of me in the mirror and there his somebody else in the photo.I also don't like the fact that some of the photo is blurry and some of it is in focus.Also I don't like the way that I have positioned the camera, it makes my arm look different.Lastly I don't like the way that there is to much going on in the photo, I don't think that there is a actual main focus. The things that I like about this photo is that the flash is right on my face and you can see other things in the photo and not just me.I also like the fact that you can see almost all of the mirror and there is also lot of edges.
WWW:personally I think that the things that went well was I had loads of different ideas, and also I mixed loads of colours together and made sure that there was a photo taken that only had 2 colour in it.I was able to develop the picture that I was really the sure on, and I was able to make people see a different perspective on it.Finally I thought that all of my pictures where positioned differently, so there wasn't a photo that looked completely the same as another.I also think that I had a good focus point, I didn't have loads of different photos that I was was trying to take photos of, I stuck to photo particular photo, and they all linked together.
EBI:I think that my photos would have looked better if there was less green, there is to much green in it which I thing take away the fact that there is other colours around, or even it in. I also didn't like the fact some of the photos that I used to collage my other photo with, made my other picture less visible because It was a lot smaller. I also think it would have been better if I used all different types of scrap paper, because they where al very similar, which made all of the the photos are almost the same.
In this task we had to take 20 selfie images. To take these photos I used acetate,paper, fairy lights, different fabrics and different objects.
HOMEWORK
What I thought went well about my homework, is they wasn't all the same and also they where all taken in different places.I. tried keep most of my photo based on the blur and photos through see through thing, and I also tried to keep it so the most of them where quite dark so that is was harder to see me.
What I thought didn't go well was some of the photos I took its a lot harder to see me the I thought it would have been. Also I didn't like how some of the photos are not in focus, because it wasn't par of the theme that I was going for.
