selfie takers

Front-camera portrait makers

People who photograph themselves, typically with a smartphone held at arm's length or mounted on a selfie stick.

The term is neutral but often carries a faintly dismissive tone, suggesting vanity or self-absorption: The overlook was crowded with selfie takers blocking the view.
