Self-Portrait vs Selfie

The definition of a selfie is "a photograph that one has taken of oneself, typically taken with a smartphone or webcam and shared via social media". The definition of a self-portrait is "a portrait that an artist produces of themselves". The difference between a selfie and a self-portrait is that a self-portrait is an art that can be displayed in galleries or museums created by an artist and a selfie is more of a technological portrait of someone using a camera of a smartphone. 

I would prefer a selfie because a selfie is more commonly used by teenagers because of having a smartphone and taking a selfie usually happens about almost every day. Teenagers have now become attached to phones and the use of snapchat has caused kids to takes selfies just more often than self-portraits. Selfies have just become an easier way of taken a portrait of one's self.

I would say that a self-portrait is more valuable than a selfie because a self-portrait is an art that takes more time and is more meaningful than just taking a simple snap of yourself. A self-portrait is just more of a professional way to display a portrait of yourself.
