This is the image I choose when told I had to find a self-portrait to mimic, - not exactly typical, but I like it. Degas is probably my favourite artist of all time; I love his colours and the way he captures things you wouldn't normally be drawn to.
So based on this image, I photographed myself in a similar situation and used the palette to create my own self portrait. I never intended to imitate the picture exactly, instead I used it as a jumping off point.
