 This idea is not entirely new: I have seen similar images on the Internet that critically question the use of cell phones. When I saw Irving Penn's football_face, I immediately felt the urge to transport this style into modern times and tried my own version of it. I hope the voters can understand my train of thought.

Here is my inspiration from Irving Penn's Beauty Gallery:

football_face


For those who are interested, here's an explanation of how I did it:
The model is myself, I combed my hair upside down and then stood up straight. The cell phone had a suction cup holder on the back, which I held on to with my teeth.
My partner then pressed the shutter button.

Great image. I wonder how you managed to do this, the sense of movement in the hair and the phone floating in front of your face.

Inspired on the Football face? Even the same single eye. Great image. Great hair. Pity about the small strap mark, could have been edited out. Still a 10 from me.
