Retro Mirror Captures

Self Portrait by Mazen Abusrour Recreates the Popular Female Obsession

— July 17, 2012 — Fashion
Self Portrait by Mazen Abusrour is a beautiful pictorial featuring the fashion model Albe Hamiti. Mazen Abusrour wanted to create a fashion shoot that copied the female teenager obsession of taking “sefies” from a mirror.

Mazen Abusrour’s pictorial recreates the popular fab, but makes it appear classy and sophisticated. To create this scene the model captured herself using Abusrour’s camera by aiming it at a mirror. Stylist Lisa Strannsten adorned the model in retro styles full of pinks, greens and oranges that matched the model’s reddish-orange hair.

Mazen Abusrour is a Dubai-based photographer who has captured many high fashion editorials. This beautiful series recreates the modern teenage fixation with capturing photos of themselves while trying on clothes at a store, or capturing self portraits outside of bathroom stalls.
