I bet this has been done before. And this was the best looking model I could afford :(
The plan was to show me painting myself digitally. But I didn't have an easel to put the mirror on. The background choices all seemed distracting so I ended up with my living room walls (one has a plant cookie). The biggest challenge was focusing. My toddler's toy 'Bailey's Dolly' sat in for me when I was behind the camera.

Wow, how did you set this up without being able to see the camera... unless... the mirror isn't as square with your body as it looks. The laptop gives it a unique feel. Nice solemn expression.
Interesting idea, technically good photo. Sharp. Lighting is good. I am not sure about the shadows on the wall though. Maybe you did it for some reason. This is a nice photo overall :)
