Did you use a shift lens for this? – scottbb Mar 02 '21 at 00:17

No, just plain old photoshop. How would I keep the camera out of the mirror with a shift lens? – Saaru Lindestøkke Mar 02 '21 at 11:41
1

by setting the camera just to the side of the mirror, aimed perpendicular to the (extended) plane of the mirror, and applying lateral shift towards the mirror. See: "The Vampire Effect" section of this link. – scottbb Mar 02 '21 at 19:42

Reflections of a hammerhead flash

Before a wardrobe mirror, Reflections of a Hammerhead Flash, 2020-Nov-09

I have no idea where half of those reflections are from and why they are partially colored: there was just a single mirror involved in front of the camera. All other reflection surfaces have to be lens and teleconverter (or other camera parts) in some manner.
