National Selfie Day Luray Caverns Post
It’s National Selfie Day, and Luray Caverns needed some content for social.
Selfies are a way of light, and I am certainly guilty of a few…. hundred or so. What I’ve come to discover is that the first selfie was actually credited to a man named Robert Cornelius back in 1839. So don’t worry Millennials, this isn’t a new trend!
So to celebrate National Selfie Day Luray Caverns wanted to do a social post for it, and asked me to come up with a concept provide the photography service. After thinking about it for a bit I figured it would look great if we had a group of people in the caverns taking a selfie in front of one of the largest formations in the cave.

So I took a few other shots at different angles to build the collage.
