selfies and self portraits

A selfie is a self portrait taken with a smartphone. It  is usually taken with a phone and it can take lot of space up because they are usually hard to take a good one because you have to get certain angles just like when taking a normal picture. A self-portrait is a portrait of an artist or created by the artist. a lot of the time the is taken with a camera or patented or drawn.

the difference between a selfie and a self- portrait is that a selfie is usually taken with a hand-held digital camera or camera phone. so by definition selfie is a self-portrait photograph rather drawn or painted or sculpted. Others say the difference between self-portraits and selfies boil down the intent.

I don know which one I like more. I would say if I HAD to choose it would be a selfie. I think this because I taken selfies and I've only down a self-portrait once and I didn't really like it because with a selfie you can see what you are typically taking and you can guess how it turned out unlike a self-portrait. I do think a self portrait shows more emotions and helps show haw the person is typically feeling a lot of the time .

what style to you prefer. I prefer a selfie because its just what I've grown up knowing how to do.
