Bajan superstar Rihanna has admitted that she almost prefers taking pictures of herself because she knows exactly what she's trying to capture.

During her recent photo shoot for Complex magazine, the 'Where Have You Been' beauty took the artistic direction into her own hands and was filmed snapping 'selfies' on both a camera and laptop.

She explained that being in control of what's shown on camera is empowering and she likes to photograph herself because she can do her own thing: "It's narcissistic, but whatever. Everyone does it. I'm capturing personality. Everybody has their thing they like or don't like to see."

She added: "It's all in your head. That's why people take their own pictures, because it's difficult for someone else to capture what you seek."

Rihanna also refused to discuss her collaboration with Chris Brown, on 'Nobody's Business', during the interview and explained that all people need to know about it is that it's just "the truth".
