Man who took a selfie

Man who took a selfie
I had to get along with very poor quality 5MP selfie camera, under quite poor light conditions. But I thought the output looks wonderfully Dada because of all the flaws.

Inspired by Finnish photographer Magnus Scharmanoff: www.scharmanoff.com/hero01.html

Magnificent result Sami, you're understating yourself! As far as I'm concerned you can print it and hang it in the nearest galery!

Thank you, Luc =)

And it wasn't easy! I could not see what I photograph, which is why I had to take several shots ... This is take 110/149 =D

Well, I first did planned to use another camera and my mobile phone as a remote control =D

But then that picture in picture made with mobile phone selfie camera turned out as more important to achieve, and I had no way to get remote control for the my cell phone ;-)

You found inspiration in the right places Sami ... and as you say the flaws you speak off just accentuate the fact that something doesn't have to be perfect to work. :)

This picture is just fabulous and clever made and a real eye-catcher, which puzzled me a while and made me thought, how such a thing can even work. ;-) Really a fantastic work by you, Sami! I like those crazy puzzles and pictures and admire and enjoy the great results of this challenge and the ingenuity of the users very much!

Sami Serola (inactiv… club has replied to Stevia club
Thank you very much, Stevia ;-)

There is also a "hidden message" or an alternative title: "Ecce homo" ;-)

I tried to refer to whole mobile phone selfie phenomena, where people do crazy things like kill themselves when taking selfies "blindly" in dangerous places ...

how did you achieve the white background for your arm holding the phone?
5 years ago.
Sami Serola (inactiv… club has replied to malona club
One wall is painted red, when others are white ;-)

It gives an interesting contrast for the space, but also nice effect for photographs:

oh, yes, solution was quite simple ;-)))

but the room must be small(ish), though

sorry for pestering again, but do you use some kind of light settings? i mean hardware...

Sami Serola (inactiv… club has replied to malona club
Sorry for belated reply. I used "ambient light". Three spots on the ceiling, one bedside lamp, and some light coming from the window.
