I'm King of the selfie! Customer service rep becomes Instagram sensation with 120 near-identical mugshots

Benny Winfield Jr. has become an Instagram sensation after posting 117 self-snapped mugshots in two months, all with a near identical expression

It's the photo trend which has swept social networks this year - but this man has staked his claim as the 'king of the selfie'.

Benny Winfield Jr. has become an Instagram sensation after posting 117 self-snapped mugshots in two months, all with a near identical expression.

The customer service rep from Houston, Texas, has only been taking the selfies since July, but has already clocked up an Instagram following of 50,000.

His portraits show the 37-year-old with the exact same toothy grin in every photo, whether he is at home, out and about, or in the car.

He said: 'I am mostly sitting up when I take them. I just hold my camera right in front of me.

'Sometimes I show teeth, sometimes no teeth. Depends on my mood. I'm probably having a good day if I'm using teeth.'

His simple approach to selfies has seen Benny's profile described by some as 'probably the best Instagram account you've ever seen'.

Others have called it 'the Instagram account to end all Instragram accounts'.

Benny told Metro U.S.: 'I’m kind of still in awe. I’m just trying to get a wrap on this. I’m enjoying it but at the same time I can’t believe this is happening.'
