The selfies I am embedding into this post are all ones that I posted on Instagram. I chose to do this because Instagram is the medium where I share the most selfies, over other options like Facebook or Twitter. I rarely take a selfie that I do not share anywhere, if I don't like it I will delete it, and if I do like it, it will probably end up on Instagram.
Instagram has the facility to like and comment on photos and while I don't think I necessarily post pictures for the 'likes' I can't deny that I overthink, at times, the amount of 'likes' a picture I post gets. Does less likes on this picture of my face mean my face has got worse? Although, I have noticed that a picture of myself gets a lot more 'likes' that a picture of a landscape or the latest book I've loved.
A classic selfie, no distinctive background, just my profile taking up the whole shot. From memory I think I was just having a good hair/outfit/face day and felt like sharing it with the world, and something nice to look back on if I'm not having such a good hair/outfit/face day.
Sharing a snap of my best friend and I, when she came to visit me at Halloween. This was one of quite a few that were taken, the one I chose to post publicly was the one I thought showed me at my bets angle.
I documented my 6 week Guardian Masterclass through captions on instagram pictures, this being the final one, complete with an official name badge. Lots of people I knew were keen to know how I got on, and I didn't want to forget any of it, hence the long captions. The picture was more of a means to write the caption than anything else.
I took this whilst at a festival last summer, because it's not everyday you get to adorn your face with floral glitter and I guess I thought I looked pretty good.
