I use a wall mirror. I stand in front of it and look straight forward. It takes a while to get adjusted but take pictures based on where the light from the flash is going to hit. For example if you're trying to get just you're top hold the camera high in your crown area and aim the flash at the middle front of your top and it should come out with just your top. On the sides hold the camera at the side of your head and try to get the flash to hit the side of your face and sideburns not your hair. You'll get the whole side of you head. The only part I don't have down is the back.

It is very easy. You need a handheld mirror and a wall mirror. Make sure you have  the correct lighting whether your using a flash or not

you can use a mirror or just practice with gripping the cam at different angles

Do any of u take pictures by somehow using a mirror? Or if u dont please post some advice on how to use the best angles to take the best pics of your waves. I really need some advice. Part of the reason i rarely do updates is becuz I can't get any good pictures to show my real potential. Thank You
