Mark’s Reflection in Motorbike Mirror

Friday, 19th June 2009 @ 8:42 am by Ed O'Keeffe

Here we see the second and final image of Mark on his motorbike. This was a little more trial and error than the previous two photographs. This time the flash was pointing towards the lens, placed on the left handlebar just out of the frame. Again I was using a single flash to light Mark’s face. The reflection in the mirror was 100% real and wasn’t placed there in Photoshop. The only editing was some very basic contrast adjustments in the Adobe Camera Raw software. The lens flare was also real and an effect of having the flash pointing into the lens. This was something I wanted to try as it is very popular in certain fashion photography circles at the moment.
