when was the first selfie taken who took it
Selfie Robert Cornelius, an American pioneer in photography, produced a daguerreotype of himself in 1839 which is also one of the first photographs of a person. Because the process was slow he was able to uncover the lens, run into the shot for a minute or more, and then replace the lens cap.[4] He recorded on the back "The first light Picture ever taken. 1839."[4][5]
