I am assuming I will need to use off camera flashes and shoot on an angle, but does anyone have any other tips? __________________ View Member ProfileSend Private MessageFind Member's Threads Find Member's Posts Hapster Trusted Member Registered: 04/05/09 Posts: 93      07/21/09 at 11:18 PM Reply with quote #2 Make sure the mirror is clean... I would fire my lights facing away from the mirror into umbrellas or a large reflector. I think even at an angle; direct light to subject could have some less than desirable results on with that background. Try searching the "Lighting" forum at DPR for some info also..
