I always have a full-length mirror next to the camera when I'm doing publicity stills. That way, I know how I look.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I stayed away from mirrors when I was younger and I didn't like having my picture taken. I was tall and had braces and felt ugly.
And I usually use myself as a model, posing in front of a mirror as I dab the strokes on the canvas.
I keep the shutters closed because I like to work in a hermetic environment. I like mirrors. When you look out of the window, all you see is ugliness, but when you look in the mirror all you see is beauty.
I used to hate looking in the mirror. I've grown up into myself and now I'm happy with the way I look.
Some days I think I look kind of cute, but other days I try to avoid the mirror.
One time I can stand fiddling in front of the mirror for an hour and another time I think: well hack, this is just the best it can get. Only if I have to go to work I really try to look fantastic.
With photography, you are lucky if you get people to look at your pictures at some point. There's no formal way to show them.
I don't spend a lot of time in the mirror.
I find mirrors detestable; I dislike seeing myself. Of course, there's a mirror in the bathroom, but it's a magnifying one for shaving. Photographs are fine, but I don't like mirrors because they take you by surprise.
I have a lot of mirrors around my house, not because I like to look at myself, but because I like the light and perspective they bring to a room.
