“You know what a camera is? A mirror with a memory.” – Anonymous
A few tips to photograph mirrors:
– Play with angles. It’s rare that a photo from straight-on (one that shows your camera/smartphone) will turn out well. Instead, play with different angles to create a more visually interesting image.
– Look for reflections all around you – in mirrors, glass, water and other objects – to create entertaining and intriguing images.
– Use many mirrors to produce playful photographs that are eye-catching and illusory.
