How to set up your scene

  1. Choose any image to serve as your background
  2. Flip the image upside down and set it to full screen
  3. Place the mirror and tilt the screen to show the reflection
  4. Add your product

Bonus useful tips

  • If the mirror is smaller, you’ll need to head over to Photoshop and use the clone stamp tool to edit the background so it’ll cover your entire frame.
  • Angle your laptop screen to make sure you can cover the entire mirror with the image.
  • Position the tripod and camera in a high position pointing downwards the product to capture the image on the mirror.
