I am looking for an antonym of selfie, meaning a photo/portrait of others.

The ancient Greek word for self is like auto, and what I am looking for is an English word for hetero (its opposite). Do you have any idea of that?


Solution 1:

I think that the opposite of a selfie is a regular shot

Solution 2:

I wonder if a similar “problem” came up back in the days that some painters painted self-portraits. Some of them must have lost sleep over what to call the painting they made of someone else!

In painting and in photography, a painting or picture that has as its main subject a person or group of people is called a portrait.

I cannot think of any reason why the emergence of a neologism for the word self-portrait, a portrait depicting the same person that made the portrait, all of a sudden would invalidate the word portrait to mean what it always meant.

Solution 3:

The opposite of a selfie is a Yousie

Solution 4:

I think a good, short antonym that fits the techie context is a themsy/themsie.
