A reflection of me in my glass cupboard. No filter.
In my indirect selfie I tried to capture the objects (porcelain cups) and me reflecting on them. The objects hold a high emotional value for me - they were a wedding present from my parents, custom-made, with our initials. They are a reminder of what is waiting for me at home.

The object has no high emotional value for me, but I love the way it changes and disorts everything it shows.

On the one hand the saying Beauty lies in the eyes of the beholder is represented here. The selfie is reflected in part a rear mirror which was discarded, I however found it aesthetically pleasing.

On the other hand the indirect selfie shows how every person has several facets, some of which are similar and others that differ strongly from the way you present yourself to the world.

In addition it is a accurate representation of the worlds  current state.

The second one

A view of me, through someone else's eyes.
Or perhaps, even me observing myself, whether literally or figuratively. We are all in my place in this picture, in our day to day life, yet it became such a constant that many do not even think about others perceiving their existence (or vice versa). Being someone who prefers observing over engaging, I came to look at it in a way I have not seen many do. We are all different people in the eyes of each individual who takes the time to distinguish us from the crowd. And we are all equally unaware of what we look like, in the eyes of the observer.
The reflection is obtained by playing with two mirrors, one mirror representing first person, the second mirror third person. The picture is taken in a way that hides the camera, as not to break the immersion. A blur filter is used representing the fact that no one truly sees who we are, because to achieve that, much more than sight is needed. However, I think the blur has its charm and gives a sense of mystery, or even comfort for some. - Nell

My indirect selfie is a reflection of myself in the window of a train.
The idea is just that ever since a long time I have been fascinated by this kind of reflection. As my younger self, I used to fantasise that it may be magic and wonder whether all the other people could see it too. I think it is funny how there seem to be two trains there, one which all the people and I am in and another one closely behind the window. It is paler than reality and reminds of a ghost. Pretty mysterious.
However, now that I am certain this isn't any kind of extraordinary phenomenon, I still like it and very much enjoy this funny mirroror, when I get the chance to see it.
Also, I have taken similar pictures earlier this year, which were captured during daytime.
(I'm going home and to school by public transport on a daily basis. Why not make something special of it for this task, I thought)

For my indirect selfie I chose a CD to achieve a reflection. To bring out the naturally given rainbow reflection of the CD I experimented with filters and the features my phone offered me such as exposure, brilliance, highlights, shadows, contrast, brightness saturation and sharpness. The filter I used is called “dramatic warm”. Additionally, a CD is a childhood memory in terms of listening to it as well as being fascinated by it’s reflection. Out of today’s point of view I see how the place and position of camera and light define the reflection colours. For me it somehow represents social interaction in society. Depending how you mirror and see others with your own position of mind and perspective we see different lights, characteristics and facets of others. Sometimes you may be blinded by other’s reflection, surprised or pleasured, however the longer you interact and get to know the more colours you will find. In the end an indirect selfie which captures a part of this  colours stays a try to catch them all. However, photos give us only a glance of the actual figure. Still they have the power to open our imagination and memory so we can see how the colours shine since we saw them in reality once and know a bit more how some people are since we really interact with them.

"Reflection"
My indirect selfie is a water reflection of myself. Growing up as a Filipino guy, I experienced a lot of discrimination because of my family heritage and because of how I look like. I've been named a lot of names already. I remember when I was a kid, every time I look in the mirror or anywhere I see a reflection of myself, I always watch my face to see if all the things I've heard from people are true or not. I grew up having a very low self esteem and I admit back then I really had a lot of insecurities because I believed I am a really ugly person and that's only because of the bullies I experienced in my life. But one day I told myself that if I will believe those people who think im ugly, then who would trust and believe for myself? If I would be one of them as well. It took a lot of time for me to finally understand and realize that I should love myself and be proud of how I look like, to learn how to ignore rude comments about myself and to transform my weaknesses as my strengths. For me life is only a "reflection" of what we allow ourselves to see, if we won't allow ourselves to see beauty and good things in our life then there won't be beautiful things we can see. Remember that a mirror or a reflection of your appearance can only show you how you look like, it can not tell you or us who we really are as a person. It is by our heart we can know the goodness of a person.

To achieve this indirect selfie I chose my sunglasses as the top object. I  didn’t really have a certain idea for this selfie, I just liked the way it came naturally without really thinking how good or bad the result could be. After capturing this photo I realized that sunglasses are my  go to  styling object. Literally I love sunglasses. I think you can make a „basic outfit“ something more, like you gave an extra effort to look better when you have sunglasses on. ( sorry for being late, I tried to send it twice but when I tried to post my selfie immediately kicked me out)

This is a reflection of me in the framing of a painting in my family’s home. This specific painting holds emotional value for me because it connects to events from my childhood. I also find the idea of this sort of double image very interesting.
I also want this picture to be a reminder of the different sides of life. Not everything is black and white but there are shadows to every light. In order to accentuate this I put a silvertone filter on the original photo. I would usually use brighter colors for these types of things but I wanted to use this filter to show that there is always a range of perspectives on one thing.
I enjoyed this task and the ideas behind it.
