self-portraits vs. selfies

1. A selfie is a self portrait taken with your phone.
2. A self portrait is a portrait that an artist produces of themselves.
3. The difference between a selfie and a self portrait is self portraits show more depth and feeling then selfies do. While selfies show more of your emotion during that certain when you took the photo.
4. I prefer self portraits because they show more of your creativity and hard work that you did just to take the photo and they show yourself in a different and unique way.
5. I think that both selfies and self portraits hold the same value because selfies can often capture special moments or memories that happen(ed) at that certain time while self portraits don't do that. Self portraits are also important because they often show a deeper emotion that you want to express in a way that selfies can't.

7. The intention of DIY photography website is to show people how other photographers are taking photography and making it into their own thing. They wrote about different photographers taking photos of simple and complex things that are taking over the photography world. Also they talked about photographers who are making new ways to take photography to the next level. I think that one thing an average viewer can get from this website is how photography are making up their own and unique way to take photos and make it something simple complex or use it to help make a change. I would add this website to my bookmarks because I feel as if it helps open your mind to new possibilities and ways to be more creative with the next photos you take. I would recommend this website to someone else because it is something that you don't think about because you don't see these kind of photos everyday so I think that these photos help you open your mind up to new ways to take photos in photography.
8. I learned about how people feel about selfies and self portraits. Also I learned the difference between selfies and self portraits and how they show different emotions and express the person's feelings in different ways. My favorite photo that I found is below. I like this photo because the photo looks different than many other photos but has a very special and valuable meaning behind it. The photo is of a blind bride who is getting to feel her wedding day photos because of a multi-sensory album that was made for her.
