Mirrors. Something each one of us owns. Most people use it to make sure they look OK, but some people use it to create awesome portraits. Using a mirror can give depth to your image, give you more detail you'll never get without it. It shows you things that are usually hidden from the camera. Portraits using a mirror as a prop also tell a stories - they make you think about the situation and the story behind it. Using mirrors is also a great way to show the surroundings - it gives you a way to see whats behind the camera as well as whats in front of it. Check out this great set of images showing exactly that.

I saw these on the Profoto Blog as well as in PDN EDU and I thought they were amazing! The photographer's name is Katie Thompson and her use of mirrors is truly stunning: http://www.profoto.com/blog/portrait-photography-2/katie-thompsons-shatt...

Some really nice images. Here is mine.
Interesting collection... on a simpler note here is one I did with a BTS shot ... wanted to go with a white-out in a bathroom environment, using my DIY 22" beauty-dish.
