If you have a few hundred selfie shots on your phone they could be considered works of art.

A photographer from Cambridge says selfies should be used in art after winning the #SAATCHISELFIE competition.

Dawn Woolley beat over 14,000 entries with her selfie, named The Substitute, which shows a man holding a 2D picture of a person in a bikini.

The pictures from all over Europe can now be seen at the Saatchi Gallery's Selfie to Self-Expression exhibition.

'I'm amazed and overwhelmed, it's quite a shock'

Dawn says she is thrilled as "this is very much about how we represent ourselves through photographs, and I think that's what selfies are all about.

"They have a powerful potential and selfies should be used in art more. I look forward to that happening".

And it's worth taking note, because she's won an all expenses paid trip on an international photo shoot assignment.

Here are the top nine finalist selfies

From Selfie to Self-Expression

This is the world's first exhibition that explores the history of the selfie, from the old style portraits to the present day.

It "celebrates the truly creative potential of a form of expression often derided for its inanity".

It also highlights the increasing role of the smart phone in an artistic way.

A smartphone is 'an artistic tool'

Nigel Hurst, CEO Saatchi Gallery, says "it was difficult to choose ten to shortlist, let alone one overall winner.

"We hope that the competition has encouraged anyone with a smartphone to realise its potential as an artistic tool".

Nigel also wants to inspire us to "document their daily lives with even more creative vigour".
