A Moment of Self Reflection

Ever look at yourself in the mirror and wonder what you wish to see? I work as a custodian full-time, and thanks to the auto-pilot nature of the job, I have a lot of time to think and get creative.

Taking this photo was harder to take than I thought.

Piece 1:

Finding the right position on this side was tough. One where I leaned on the broom making me look like a hunchback. Some didn't show enough of my face. But keep thinking and trying I always say. Funny thing I found was in the reflection of Piece 1 zoom in on my face and found this.

Caption this if you want:

Piece 2:

Now, taking the reflection picture was easier. Because the reflection was facing the camera more, it was easier to look badass.

Behind the scenes:

Set up was easy, put the camera on a tripod, set the timer for pictures, and then take the pictures as I pose. The hidden thing you should do in this case is set the camera to manual settings and set the aperture and shutter speed to the same settings. Don't want any photos to look too different otherwise, you'd be spending way too much time on photoshopping the pictures to look the same.

If you want to take your own self-reflection photos like this please give me a call.
