| Jun 7, 2012 at 15:23 | comment | added | Jahaziel | Perhaps you should clarify what precise elements of the "mirror look" are you after, and which ones are you failing to replicate. Perspective? Illumination pattern? Proportion? Size? Color? Depth of field/focus? Posture? | |

| Jun 7, 2012 at 12:56 | comment | added | Russell McMahon | (2) needs answering. You are trying to SIMULATE the appearance of an image of yourself in a mirror OR you are trying to use an actual mirror to image yourself? Or ...? | |
| Jun 7, 2012 at 12:30 | comment | added | Alex V. | One solution i can see is using a one-sided mirror. What lense and settings to use, remains a question, though. | |

Minor differences remain due to the lense and the display being considerably far apart. (3) No. I can take a good shot of anyone, besides myself) (4) Ideally, no. For the purpose of experimentation and figuring it out - yes. | |
| Jun 7, 2012 at 11:53 | comment | added | Russell McMahon | Clarification: (1) I understand that you want a photo of yourself that appears the same as the image that you see of yourself in a mirror. (2) I understand that a mirror is not or probably is not actually involved. (3) Question: Are you also wanting photos of other people that YOU take of them that look as if they are looking at you (or themselves) in a mirror? (4) Question Is it acceptable for a mirror frame and/or actual mirror surface to appear in the photo.? | |
