Mirror Images

Mirror images in photography are an image that has been rotated or 'flipped' as to create an exact copy of the original image as if you were looking into a mirror. Another addition to this is to replicate the image and position it and add an effect so that it looks more like a reflection. This effect can be achieved quite easily using Photoshop.

Here are some examples of mirror images: 



Here is how i made my images.

First I opened my image in Photoshop and made a copy of the layer.


Then I made a not of how big the image was so that I could make a new canvas to place the images on for the mirrored effect. I chose to mirror my image horizontally.


I made a new canvas at 48.22 cm wide and 36.31 cm high and 300 pixels per inch resolution.


Then I dragged one of the images onto the new canvas.


Then I flipped the original image horizontally.


I then moved the flipped image onto the canvas and positioned them.


This was my end result.
