Take a look through the gallery to see my favorites (in no particular order) and let us know about any great ones you’ve come across — or created — in the comments below.
Beautiful lighting adds a quiet grace to Tim Knezevich’s fantastically done infinity illusion.

Alexander Small adds another layer to his self-portrait with the addition of an iPhone that effectively highlights his intense eyes.

The thinking behind Ryan Pendleton’s fun shot is to show how sometimes gadgets can enslave their owners. Although as a self-confessed iProduct fan, Pendleton says he “happily succumbs” to such enslavement.

5. Chris Deakin
Photoshop ninja Chris Deakin has combined two separate images to create his pixellated take on the iPad self-portrait.

There’s no Photoshop in Jonathan Vazquez’s portrait that uses multiple Apple devices to great effect.

7. Ted
Ted is the first to admit his neck isn’t aligned perfectly, but we’re certainly not going to hold that against him as we enjoy his cool camera-themed creation.

There’s a real sense of fun in Corey Weekley’s photo. We especially enjoy the little bit of hair sticking up from behind the iPad.

10. Tim Sismey
Finally, not actually a self-portrait but a portrait of one of Tim Sismey’s iPhone developer buddies, this makes great use of multiple iOS devices to create some serious quirk.
