The selfie is a cultural phenomenon that has taken the world by storm. We take it to include photo-portraits of the self, and view the 'we-fie' as part of the phenomenon. Over the course of 200 years, photo-portraits have become more readily available to the masses with the advancement of technology. In this project, we explore cultural factors that accelerated the growth of the 'selfie' culture and the role that technology plays in this change.
We chose to use a photo-blog to depict this evolution.
Inside you will see a timeline of photo-journal entries. They show important events that mark the transformation of photo-portraits.These entries are in chronological order - the oldest events can be found at the bottom on the page, while the most recent events are at the top.
Enjoy!
