selfportrait

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'only you are capable of you poser' is the definition.
I don't know anything about this answer so I can't tell whether it can be defined by this definition.

'picture' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite understand how this works, but
'picture' could be 'portrait' (portrait is a kind of picture) and 'portrait' is located in the answer.
The remaining letters 'self' is a valid word which might be clued in a way I don't understand.
This explanation may well be incorrect...

'what' acts as a link.
