This image was inspired by some of the neat stuff that Jan Van Holleben did in her series entitled "My army of monsters." I really liked the idea of creating monstrous creatures by combining multiple people in mirrors, however, this proved to be quite difficult. I didn't have large seamless mirrors available to me, so I tried to make do with two smaller ones, which was really hard to manage. I decided to take it in a slightly different direction since creating a strong illusion wasn't exactly possible with the resources available. I also tried to find a bright and interesting setting instead of a stark white sterile one to add more interest and life to my photo. It was meant to be a non-traditional take on group portrait photography as well as sort of a creepy psychological view of the subjects. It is meant to be odd and unsettling instead of just static and straight forward like some traditional portrait photography.
It was shot using indoor tungsten lighting coming from the ceiling lights.
