History
A person’s desire to take their own photos is associated with the appearance of the corresponding opportunity in 1885, when the first camera was invented. At the end of the XX century, digital technologies were popularized, which contributed to the spread of the culture of photography. It turned out to be possible to create photos instantly, without the need to develop the film in a special studio. Selfies took off in 2005. It has become possible to integrate a reverse camera into modern devices.
Interesting Facts

- A Selfie is an important marketing and advertising tool that helps to establish communication with partners and consumers, create a bright, colorful visual presentation, share information, and establish trusting relationships.
- To make a selfie, take a pose so the neck, the raised chin, and the part of the face that is considered ‘working’ are visible; that is, it turns out better in photos. You cannot be tense, you need to relax and be at ease.
