Mirroring an image is one of the techniques with which I love to experiment. This is a mask I bought in New Orleans, and for the realistic eyes, I went to a doctor who replaces damaged or diseased eyes in people and talked him into loaning me two of the artificial eyes. Admittedly, this was a little weird, but I was intrigued by the possibilities. I taped them into the mask and photographed it with a studio strobe and soft box. Then I used Photoshop to mirror the image of the mask, and finally I added the background which is a computer generated fractal. This was done in the 90's before we all used digital cameras. I photographed the mask with the eyes using a medium format film camera (Mamiay RZ 67), and then I had the large transparencies scanned by a lab to make the digital files which were then brought into Photoshop.
