Take Good Mirror Photos and Poses

Mirror photos can be a fun way to take pictures while seeing what you're doing.

Steps

  1. Hold your camera far away from your body if you must use a flash. This will minimize the amount of white light you see obstructing your body.
  2. Hold your camera very still to avoid blurriness if you don't use a flash.
  3. Hold your camera at an angle above yourself. Holding it below your eye level will make the bottom half of your body look bigger.
  4. Make sure your room is nice and light, without shining a light right on your face. You don't want harsh shadows.
  5. Emphasize your eyes with makeup. Make sure your face and hair are clean because grease and oil show emphasized in photos.
  6. Be careful of reflections, and of what you have in the background.{{largeimage|Take Good Mirror Photos and Poses Step 6.

Warnings

  • Don't do a Myspace angle, i.e. holding the camera straight above your hand and looking at it. Seeing down your shirt is not sexy if it's coupled with your giant head and tiny legs.
