New '0.5' 'long arms tiny body' selfie trend sweeping social media

A new selfie trend is sweeping social media - where youngsters picture themselves with long arms and tiny bodies. Instagram is becoming littered with the "0.5 five" selfie - a photo taken using a wide-angle lens to make the subject appear distorted.

The result is long arms, tiny bodies and often huge foreheads - and yet it seems to be growing more and more popular. The selfie, becoming a favourite in particular amongst Generation Z, can only be taken on modern iPhone models with an ultra-wide - known as a 0.5 - camera.

Zoe Nazarian, 20, is one of many who have got on board with the unusual style of selfie - and she reckons it's only set to become more popular.
