My inspiration started from Ron Mueck's "Boy 1999". I just really liked the pose, and the vulnerability about it.
I actually can not pull of that pose though as my achiles tendons are too tight and my heels would not be able to be flat on the ground... however I am able to balance on my toes pretty easily as I am a toe walker. Running off the balance idea, the rest of the concept materialized from there.
Aging yourself is kinda creepy, but kinda fun!
Editing included:
Combining 5 photos
2 for the general posture. I was only using a two light setup with a gridded beauty dish directly above and a speedlight for lighting the underexposed areas. One photo has the speedlight lighting my feet and legs, the other has the speedlight lighting my face.
The three other photos are wrinkles to add to the aging effect. They are my wrinkles, exaggerated, so they should be pretty realistic.

So...Sunshine86? This is great processing and a great idea. I'm curious to read about your execution after the challenge. I think you could very well be on the front page.
