Single shot taken in a dark room with mirrors on all sides. I suspended a flash with a gridded snoot on the upper right mirror to control the light fall off as much as possible. The flash is cropped out.
Really like the way it came out because I really didn't anticipate the reflections would show all the different profiles. I envisioned the reflections all being the same reflection; the flash side reflection repeated over ad over again the way you typically see the effect. It didn't occur to me that the mirrors in a four sided room would actually pick up how the profile would look from all angles front, back and both sides, or that they'd produce them in a circular pattern.
But, that's what it does.

Best challenge so far. Been fun. Thanks for the great comments. I'm glad so many folks appreciated it.
How fun! There's no way I can get to everyone. Thanks for all the kind remarks. Much appreciated. Was beginning to lose faith I'd ever post something that could ribbon.

Wow, congrats on third for spring. I looked at your work and this one is a 10+. This is great work. Best self portrait I have EVER... seen. Your work is very good. Hats off to you!
Congratulations on a terrific shot and well deserved ribbon. It makes my head hurt trying to figure out the angles that all the mirrors were placed. Great job.
