This is my entry for the "Self Portraits" theme in "Steemit Portrait Photography Contest" hosted by @portraitcontest,
Sorry about this looking like an advert for Carlsberg, I was tempted to title this "Probably the best selfie in the world" but Steemit is a world wide platform and the joke may be lost on many and then it might come across a bit conceited. (In the UK, Carlsberg is advertised as "Probably the best larger in the world" and I don't know if that's everywhere)
If you're interested in how this was done, along with the camera I put a speed light inside the fridge facing the back so that the light was bounced to make it softer. Flash directly facing the subject rarely looks good. I used a wide angle lens (the FF equivalent here is 18mm) and a wireless trigger in my left hand. This idea can be extended to your cupboard, washing machine, oven etc.
Thanks for reading
