BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention One embodiment of the present invention relates to a display device, and particularly to a flexible and bendable display device. Furthermore, one embodiment of the present invention relates to an electronic device including a display device. One embodiment of the present invention is not limited to the above technical field. The technical field of one embodiment of the invention disclosed in this specification and the like relates to an object, a method, or a manufacturing method. One embodiment of the present invention relates to a process, a machine, manufacture, or a composition of matter. Specifically, examples of the technical field of one embodiment of the present invention disclosed in this specification include a semiconductor device, a display device, a light-emitting device, a lighting device, a power storage device, a memory device, a method for driving any of them, and a method for manufacturing any of them. 2. Description of the Related Art Recent display devices are expected to be applied to a variety of uses and become diversified. For example, display devices for portable electronic devices and the like are required to be thin, light, and robust. In addition, novel application is required. Patent Document 1 discloses a flexible active matrix light-emitting device in which an organic EL element and a transistor serving as a switching element are provided over a film substrate. REFERENCE Patent Document [Patent Document 1] Japanese Published Patent Application No. 2003-174153 SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION In recent years, browsability of display has been considered to be improved by enlarging display regions of display devices to display a larger amount of data. However, in applications of portable devices and the like, an enlargement of display regions might entail a reduction in portability. For this reason, browsability of display and portability are difficult to improve at the same time. Electronic devices such as portable information terminals are desired to mount cameras so that users can shoot photographs and video without circumstance. In addition, light sources for illuminating subjects are required to have high luminance with low power consumption. An object of one embodiment of the present invention is to provide an electronic device with high portability. Another object is to provide a highly browsable electronic device. Another object is to provide an electronic device having a novel light source that can be used in shooting photographs and video. Another object is to provide a novel display device, lighting device, or electronic device. Note that the descriptions of these objects do not disturb the existence of other objects. In one embodiment of the present invention, there is no need to achieve all the objects. Other objects will be apparent from and can be derived from the descriptions of the specification and the like. One embodiment of the present invention is an electronic device including a camera and a flexible display portion. The display portion has a first region and a second region. The first region has a function of emitting light to a photographic subject. The second region has a function of displaying an image of the photographic subject shot by the camera. The display portion can be bent so that the first region and the second region face in different directions. Another embodiment of the present invention is an electronic device including a housing, a camera, and a flexible display portion. The display portion has a region fixed to a first face of the housing. The camera has a region fixed to a second face of the housing. The display portion has a first region and a second region. The first region has a function of emitting light to a photographic subject. The second region has a function of displaying an image of the photographic subject shot by the camera. The display portion can be bent so that the first region and the second region face in different directions. It is preferred that the housing have a third face, the third face have a region in contact with the first face, and the display portion have a region along the third face. The housing preferably
