You can take a video of yourself and get your picture from there. I dont think it has a selfie mode like the spark does which has a gesture mode for that specific purpose. Welcome to the forum!

In Go4 set the aircraft to take photos at intervals and keep whatever ones you want. That would be the easiest way.

No self timer (yet?), but some approaches that might work depending on what you want to do and assuming no one else is around to press the shutter for you (presumably not if you're asking the question!):

Get the drone into a hover where you want to take the shot from, take a test shot to acquire focus and confirm exposure, then move the hand with the controller in it behind something (you?) and press the shutter to take the actual shot. This only works if you don't want both hands in the shot, but will give you a full 20MP still with full exposure control, etc.

Put the drone into a hover and start a video recording. Move the controller out of sight for a bit to get the shot, then retrieve it, stop the recording and recover the drone. You can then extract a still from the video later, but it will have a max resolution of 4K only (about 8MP).

Better yet, use the pre-programmed flight modes (or waypoints) to create a Hyperlapse and be sure to save the individual stills. I *believe* that will capture individual stills using the full 20MP resolution, and it'll give you a fly-around or fly-by video as well.

Not sure since I don't use it, but maybe Litchi has a built in mode for this as well that might work better?

Any self timer mode

You can use the "Timed Shot" photo mode to automatically takes photos every 2 to 60 seconds. After hitting the shutter button, the camera will continue to snap photos at the selected interval until the shutter button is pressed again.

place the drone to the spot where you will take the shot, put your hands behind your back and click away

I frame the shots with my wife and place the controller behind her back and shoot it. This is our Christmas card I shot with my MP 1. I always take several and pick out the best[emoji106][emoji106]
