Control a mirror reflection in a small portrait frame
Choose an angle that keeps a mirror or glass prop from showing the camera.
A mirror can add a second view, but a straight-on angle often reflects the camera, operator or light source. Treat the reflection as part of the composition and test the camera position before inviting a second person into the frame.
Find the reflection path
Hold a small mirror or reflective prop where it will appear in the portrait. Move the camera a little left and right while watching what appears in the reflection. Mark the position that shows the intended subject rather than the lens.
Control the bright source
Look for a lamp, window or flash reflected as a hard white patch. Rotate the mirror or move the light source outside the reflected angle. A dark card near the camera can sometimes replace the camera-shaped reflection with a clean dark area.
Review every frame
Take a short test strip and inspect the reflection in each frame; a hand move can change it. If the bright patch returns, adjust the prop angle rather than editing the face. Keep any polarising filter test consistent and note that it may not remove reflections from all surfaces.
