My Self on Camera originated from the author’s long-term observation of everyday filming habits. In today’s smartphone era, almost everyone records life through lenses, yet few consider how this shapes self-awareness. Kiki Tianqi Yu gathered numerous cases of ordinary people’s shooting practices and combined them with media theory to analyze visual behaviors from selfies to video calls. The book suggests that the camera is not merely a recording tool but a psychological mirror constantly reshaping identity. The author also shares her own cross-cultural filming experiences, noting how different cultures subtly influence on-camera self-presentation. These real-life examples make abstract theories accessible, allowing readers to discover new perspectives in familiar scenarios and understand how imagery has become an essential element in constructing modern identity.
