Photographing 2 people and a mirror?

Hello,

I'd like to know how to photograph two people and a mirror. So, one person looks in the mirror, but doesn't appear there because the other person is visible. How do you do that?

With Photoshop (or another image editing program of your choice, Gimp zB)

You make the picture once with what should be displayed in the mirror and once with what should be in front of the mirror.

Make sure the camera is on a tripod, focus and exposure should be completely manual so that they do not change between the images.

Place in the image that protrude into the mirror mask, make the rest of the mirror transparent and place the image with the mirror content on the level below.

In your example, the woman was never in the forest, which probably only sat in front of a green screen.

Bonus points if you use a tilt shift lens, then you can photograph the mirror from an even more steep angle without the camera appearing in it.

Then obviously the complete woman was masked and inserted into the image with the skeleton in front of the mirror. The clear edge around her hairstyle is a typical indication for.

You don’t need an expensive camera, a phone is enough. You also have to nix pure, not at all with greenscreen… that you can also record. Why? Because the solution is simple geometry. Since the camera is not placed directly in front of the mirror and the distance to the mirror is large enough, the woman cannot be seen in the mirror. The skeleton is visible. Just try out… it’s not hard.

By keeping the camera so far to the right that it does not reflect and just disappears behind the right mirror edge. But there are also other possibilities like a tilt shift lens.

However, this image/video also worked with Photoshop or After Effects and thus the hand masked and the mirror image exchanged. This simply goes by having a green surface instead of a mirror (green screen effect).

With the right camera, it goes without manipulation. Adjustable standard must already be. Only too expensive for the Hobbyknipser #Linhof

Tip: angle of incidence equals angle of failure.

So in your example, it’s easy to have the woman simply pured, maybe even with a green screen.

So photo without woman (only mirror with skellet) and then the woman pure
