Mirrors are a part of everyday life, even more so now that most people have a camera with them constantly. However, mirrors can prove challenging when constructing a photograph. The photos in this image collection will demonstrate how you can use framing, angles and other techniques to create beautiful images with mirrors.

“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.
