Mirror, mirror, on the wall

... who's the most narcissistic of them all?

This was taken in an expensive Lewes flea market by Don Thornhill, a very good American Flickr friend who recently came to visit Brighton with his lovely wife Linda, read more here.

Bookings being taken for upcoming Miss Aniela-guided tours of Sussex ;-)

lockyerphoto says:

I like that the photographer's face is not covered allowing his expression to shine throw as he gazes at you in the mirror, wonderful shot. Did you use HDR to get that painterly look?
Posted 38 months ago. ( permalink )

Miss Aniela says:

HDR, no, just a bit of diffusey glow...

thanks for the comments everyone.

MegElizabeth_ says:

i agree that you look kind of harry-potter-esque :)
i LOVE that blue checkered shirt you have under the sweater... i highly doubt that i could find a store selling them in the US though, huh?
this is one of the best pics i've seen in a while. it reminds me of that painting with the couple holding hands and there's the mirror in the background that shows the painting. hmm i forget the name, but i remember it's northern renaissance. art history last year did me a lot of good, eh?

Don't look behind, you're so famous now that the paparazzi are stalking you on your shopping trips. What will the tabloids say tomorrow: Aniela almost bankrupt, has to buy second hand mirror!

Miss Aniela says:

@ Clarence
ha ha...
although the mirror may be second hand, this shop had scary price tags... :-)
Mirror probably costs about £80.

thanks for the kind words, people

Extra Medium says:

A fisheye mirror! What a cool shot, and you really have the preppy look going on there. And very nice skin. My trip to Brighton was a quick one, and I only visited the shoreline area, but it's much bigger than I thought. Didn't see any of the shops, as the parking in the city was... not good. But looks like the place in the summer that really gets busy.

Uno Don says:

@~werewolf~ - lol - it works for me.

@chin - thanks on the hat.

Miss Aniela's finishing touches are the best. It's nice to share a frame with her.
Posted 38 months ago. ( permalink )

Stephane Bieganski [deleted] says:

It's the first time i m not ok with your frame.... but the light is nearly perfect, and the idea too.

Don't know why, but it make me thinking to Oliver Twist.... With you as a little boy (you looks like a little boy here, maybe your disformed smile and eyes), and this man, behind you who s looking very sympathic (I know that Oliver Twist never meet someone sympathic)....
Posted 38 months ago. ( permalink )

Haggis Chick says:

I too have had the delightful pleasure of meeting Don Thornhill and he told me all about your work Miss Aniela which I may add "I love"! I am still new to all this but your work really does inspire me although I have alot of learning to do to catch up with you and Don! I just want to say "boy you have some guts to post the pictures you do and good on you" I wish I had the balls!

Super tourist says:

Great! I like the 'diffuse glow' treatment on your pictures, really magic effect!
Posted 38 months ago. ( permalink )

priam160 says:

Your PS skills are such I'm never sure what's assembled and what's pre-shot composition. :) This is a lovely shot, either way.
Posted 38 months ago. ( permalink )

Uno Don says:

@priam160 - This shot is as taken, except it is slightly cropped, and a touch of diffuse glow added to give it that Miss Aniela polish.

I'm with you. When I saw this, I had to go back to the original just to see whether she had made a composite from the originals in this set.

Nice "slight" smile.
the photo almost has a dreamy affect.
Again... excellent job... or should i be praising "don.thonhill"?
Great subject, great props, great photographer, great hat, pity about the little reflection on the corner of the mirror.
Posted 38 months ago. ( permalink )

Elizabeth Pellette says:

I really like this shot.. I have looked through some not all of your flickr posts and I have to say ... by far you are definately one of the most creative self portraitist I have seen.. Good for you.. I suck at them.. you push limits and try new and creative things.. thats so awesome all while using yourself as the primary model.. thanks for sharing.. truely inspiring.

really great composition and post pro here.. i like the line starting from you top left that and leading to don.. ah.. tours of sussex.. i can see it now, aniela open top tour buses... i thought i saw you in bramber house newsagent a couple of weeks back, but i didn't say hi, just in case it was an aniela clone! ;-)
Posted 38 months ago. ( permalink )

Miss Aniela says:

Really?? Are u a student @ the uni?
Say hi next time please!
However, i only go into Bramber n'agent to buy newspapers, and I've been a bit lazy on the paper-reading front recently. Still got a pile of the landlady's discarded Guardians to get through.
