Newest selfie craze, ‘Donut Selfie’ goes viral

It doesn't look like the 'selfie' crazy is going anywhere anytime soon. In fact, it's expanding. The newest way of taking selfies trending right now is the “donut selfie.” 

The donut selfie brings the selfie game to a whole new level by capturing the entire 360-degree environment of its subject.

The new photography trend was introduced by a woman named Karen X. Cheng, a woman who first garnered national attention for her “Give it 100” challenge, which had people all of the world posting videos of their goal to try something new for 100 days straight. So, what made Cheng come up with the new way of taking a selfie?

“We were doing sweeping camera motions around the head trying to make optical illusions. I did one that was from one side of my head to the other - made a donut around my head - and the video started looping and was like woahhhh that looks cool,” Cheng told Yahoo News. “Soon enough I was running all around the city trying to get cool shots, playing with slow mo effects and iPhone lens attachments, and this is the result!"

After you get all of the donut selfie shots you want, edit them all together to create a short video clip, and there it is -- the donut selfie.
