My original idea was about self reflection in where the model would use mirrors or some form of object that has a reflection. My intent for the first picture was to take a picture of my model whilst they were looking at themselves through a mirror. As my shot progressed, the kind of pictures I was taking went from my model looking at himself through a mirror to experimenting with the way his face looks with the way the mirror is positioned. The pictures started looking distorted and I was unusually intrigued with they way they turned out. I started to try out different angles with half of his face cut off and me shooting from an angle that conjoin his eyes together making it no longer look like a human.
My idea has changed constantly while trying to compose this image. I had gone from taking a picture that was meant to show emotion to a picture that distorted the face. Since my idea did not seem to be working so well, I decided to experiment with the angle of the mirror and see how much his face would change if I took it at another angle. The result turned out better than what I had originally planned. I think that with this 'discovery' I decided that I would try and take pictures portraying distorted faces.
