Now that we have taken some self-portraits, lets take a look at the difference between a self-portrait and so-called "selfie". Is there a difference? Read the following article and tell me what you think! Write at least 3 paragraphs!! Title the new blog post "Self-portrait vs 'Selfie'"
What is a selfie?
a photo taken by oneself usually using a phone
What is a self-portrait?
when the photographer takes the picture by themselves without holding the camera.
Is there a difference? If so, what?
self-portrait is very formal and high quality and can be in a studio. but a selfie is very informal and not as high of quality
What style do you prefer? Why?
I prefer a self-portrait because it is more high quality and i can also capture the background clearly
Is one more valuable/important than the other? Why?
I think that a self-portrait is more valuable/ important because it is more formal and higher quality and looks more professional. and can display a message and is meant to last longer.
_____________________________
I think the self-portrait and the selfie are two separate, though at times overlapping, efforts at establishing and embellishing a definition of one’s self. Qualities like medium specificity, deeply rooted histories, and traditions that define these efforts only superficially differentiate the two. What has greater weight is the selfie’s inherently replaceable and even disposable quality. If after taking a picture of oneself is not good enough, it is easily forgotten and replaced by a new picture.
The first thing that comes to mind is the idea behind the photos and what they are supposed to convey. With selfies, there’s too much depth. people take them to eternalize some important or fun moments of their lives, to prove that we were in a certain place at a certain time.
Self-portraits, on the other hand, usually require some preparation and planning. self-portrait is very formal and high quality and can be in a studio. but a selfie is very informal and not as high of quality. I think that a self-portrait is more valuable/ important because it is more formal and higher quality and looks more professional. and can display a message and is meant to last longer.
