Mirror pic

C digs the mirror!

Photographically, I've always had a hard time composing mirror shots. I was hoping I wouldn't go wrong with this one.

The light coming into the living room in mid-morning is contrasty but lovely to shoot in. With C facing down, light bounced back onto his face from the mirror - I should try that kind of light bounce in the studio! And I love the highlight on his cheek, about the same value as the highlight on his hair.

And beyond that, he was smiling at me - his momma! - so the picture warms my heart every time I look at it. How does it affect you?
