A place to politely discuss the tools, technique and culture of photography.

This is not a good place to simply share cool photos/videos or promote your own work and projects, but rather a place to discuss photography as an art and post things that would be of interest to other photographers.

How does one distinguish between a self portrait vs a selfies? Also of course beyond the obvious skill difference of like a insta story to a actual portrait photo

I'd say a selfie is when the person in the image is obviously holding the camera.

In a self portrait you are not holding the camera, the camera is on a tripod or something similar and it could have been taken by someone else.

That is how I differentiate between the two.
