Shelfies the new photo trend for selfies

Selfies are popular and have become an integral part of Facebook and Twitter. Shelfies is the new photo trend. Here, however, the focus is on something completely different.

• Shelfie is a combination of the word "shelf" and "selfie". Users primarily photograph your bookshelf or themselves in front of the shelf. But you can also often see photos of shelves with vases, dolls or other knick-knacks.
• The trend has been on Twitter and Instagram for a few weeks now. But the first shelfies are already on Facebook.
• What is this counter trend to selfie about? The users probably want to show that a shelf says more about the owner than his face. Another interpretation sees the shelfies as the digital racing essence of the art of still life. So users supposedly want to present beautiful arrangements of your belongings.
