selfie taking

Capturing your face

Selfie taking is the act of photographing oneself, typically with a smartphone held at arm's length or mounted on a selfie stick.

The term emphasizes the activity rather than the result: She spent ten minutes selfie taking before the concert started.

Often appears in discussions of social media behavior or public etiquette: No selfie taking allowed in the museum.
