Materials and Methods
Nikon D80 + 18-55mm Nikkor + IR remote. Self-portrait sitting on the basement floor. Lightened midtones and darkened shadows in tone editing to increase contrast. Color balancing to bring out the purple hues of the shadows. No noise reduction despite the ISO 1000 for the preservation of textures.

Quite intense. I can't help but feel that there is a quality of sadness and desolation in this - do you feel the same?

Amazing colours! 
I think I can see a very tiny bit of the remote xD

Thanks
Haha yeah most likely. The remote needs to beam an IR signal to trigger the camera shutter so generally in aiming the remote at the camera, it becomes visible.

Hi again
try to use the remote in combination with the timer... You can place yourself and have enough time to hide the little thing
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Yes, I try to do that as a last resort. Even if it's just a 2 second delay, it really slows down the self-portrait process

Awesome!
Love the outfit, as well.
