“I just want to understand
what works for me on camera.”

For the moment someone says “let’s take a photo” and you wonder where to look, how to stand or what to do with your hands. Start privately, at your own pace, with a mirror and your phone.

A system you can return to

Know what you like.
Know how to find it again.

You observe, try small changes and compare your photographs. Then you build a personal reference of angles, positions and expressions that you enjoy.

  • 03
    Create a reference that is yours

A first step
you can take at home.

The Mirror Method grew from Mariana’s work in front of the camera and her personal guidance of women during shoots. The Guide gives you a simple structure to begin exploring on your own.

No appointment, professional camera or modelling experience required. Set aside some quiet time, find consistent light and begin.
