The Rise Of The Expert Selfie Phenomenon, With OPPO Mobiles

How many photos of you are on your phone right now?

Photography is catching up really fast with the advent of camera phones, with almost 1 trillion photos a year with a large part of this being selfies. Selfies are a very visual phenomenon and the love for taking photos of ourselves is on the rise. Though selfies are a much recent craze, the oldest known selfie was taken in 1839. Scholars believe selfies are a form of self-representation that allows us to look into the mirror and gauge how others see us.

To me ‘Selfies are Personal’ a reiteration of my creative impulses as well as assessing myself through a looking-glass. Even with the insane amount of selfies I click every day I do not think I’m obsessed with the Selfie Bug. That’s until recently when I attended the launch of the Bright & Beautiful, #SelfieExpert, #OPPOF1 Camera Phone. With a select 25 bloggers from across the country, loads of media personnel and celebrities the launch was nothing short of amazing. Trial kiosks, photography display, professional speak and much more was set up at the event to help me endorse the identity I want to create through my pictures. 

As the event came to a close I was gifted a gorgeous #OPPOF1 and I just couldn’t contain my delight and went about experimenting with my new hi-tech hand-candy. Apart from the regular beautification, panorama and HDR features I instantly fell in love with the time lapse, shutter speed variation and multiple exposures that is rarely available in any other mobile phones.

During the last few days, I’ve gotten addicted to experimenting with the different features on the #SelfieExpert and what I absolutely love is that it takes amazing pictures in any lighting, any angle and in any exposure. The F1 includes an 8MP front camera with a wide aperture lens and a 1/4th-inch sensor that catches hand gestures and commands to click stunning selfies. The added is that I don’t have to play with the filters which save so much time in editing and correcting. 

As I headed out for a spa day with my bestie over the weekend, we just couldn't contain ourselves and went on a selfie clicking spree.

I’m one of the few people who has had the opportunity to play with the amazing phone that is going to retail via the #F1HotSale from February 4th for INR 15990/-. So if you are a #SelfieExpert or a #SelfieEnthusiast, and your phone is filled with them, you need to go online the OPPO F1 website and check the phone for yourself.
