====Usage notes====
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 {{m|en|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 {{m|en|-ie}}, as in {{m|en|shelfie}}, or by blending, as in {{m|en|nelfie}}.<ref>[http://www.slate.com/blogs/lexicon_valley/2014/04/01/groupie_shelfie_sealfie_selfie_is_spawning_a_number_of_neologisms_and_extending.html What Makes a Selfie a Selfie?], Gretchen McCulloch, ''Slate'', April 1 2014</ref> A self-portrait of multiple people is sometimes called an {{m|en|ussie}}, {{m|en|groupie}}, or {{m|en|selvesie}}.
