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.

didn't expect to see here here. haha It sure is something different.
What a disappointment!! I was hoping to see a bunch of teenagers in the bathroom taking "selfies"
These are really well done. Here's one I did last year that I really dig:

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-shat…

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.
