5 Amazing Places in Cornwall to take a selfie!

The thought of someone catching them being in anyway self-absorbed used to fill humans with dread.

How things have changed. We have evolved into much more liberal creatures.

You want to take a good look at yourself in that mirror in a restaurant? Go for it!

You want to watch yourself strut down the street in the shop window? Go for it.

You want to take duck face selfie after duck face selfie? Go for it.

It’s liberating and quite frankly, we feel as though we have been missing out. All these years of being self conscious have cheated us from some pretty cool photo opportunities.

No more! Now it’s time to embrace the selfie and take it to the next level. These days, humans don’t just want selfies, they want inspiration. They want good hair, good make up, great outfits and most importantly, fabulous backdrops.
