Distortions

Something that has always been interesting to me is distortions in photography. I remember my father having a book by Andre Kertesz with distorted human forms photographed in concave / convex mirrors. The sort of "hall of mirrors" you would see at a funfair. I photographed a play yesterday and there was a mirror onstage which I shot into to get this shot. I see another side project coming on here! Apart from cropping the shot there was no trickery involved here.
