Perhaps, @eveuncovered, you could link your camera to the computer.

You can see the shot, for sure larger than your viewscreen. Move your self to the location and shoot. The remotes are a pain; so unreliable, some preview software will trigger the camera. Still, still still on a tripod, stiff, inflexible. Set, move, view, set, move, view.... tedious. A selfie stick?

Check the Capture NX2 software that came with your camera. It may allow camera-computer linking and control.

Also Nikon makes Camera Control Pro 2. The software offers full control from the computer using LiveView. It's not cheap at $179USD, but you only have to buy it once and you're set. You could sell a little Steem and get some tools.

A selfie stick and software?

Remember to appreciate the difficulty, difficulty is part of the creation, part of the process, the realness. Viewers appreciate the real in your photos. A real girl taking real pics of her real self.

Photography is now too easy. Photogs go out of their way to create difficulty. ND filters for 30 minute exposures at high noon. Too contrived.

I ask my class, "Who remembers the negative?" Sadly. Not one.
Your work is intriguing. Polaroid, now a historic process. I loved Polaroid...now every shot is instant. The thrill is gone.
