     I shall take this photograph myself. This must be what they call a selfie.

Usage is very varied, including photos of oneself that are not taken by oneself (not self-portraits), as in “Could you take a selfie of me?” (compare autobiography, which may be written by a ghostwriter), or not only of oneself, as in “This is a selfie of me and my sister.” Many terms for recently popular photo genres have been coined by analogy by suffixing -ie, as in shelfie, or by blending, as in nelfie.[1] A self-portrait of multiple people is sometimes called an ussie, groupie, or selvesie.
