The selfie. A shameless phenomenon that we're all supposed to be getting in on. Somehow, by redefining the humble self-portrait we've legitimised a heinous trend of vanity that's allegedly rocketing in popularity. But let's be honest, this isn't anything new. American photography pioneer Robert Cornelius 'did a selfie' in 1839. Russian Grand Duchess Anastasia Nikolaevna sent a mirror selfie to her friend in 1914. I took one with my Game Boy Camera in 1998.
