How do I get a similar result to the one in this picture?

I'm guessing it involves a mirror... heh.

Any help is appreciated.

What effect? It's just a photo of someone holding a camera.

Take your camera and hold it up to your eye. Point it at the mirror and take a picture. :P LOL j/k. Its just a photo taken in a mirror, with the light focused on the person. Most probably done in photoshop (the lighting).

I don't know about you, but that normally relieves me of the shakes...:p


My village called. I was told that they missed me.

Speedotron users, untie!

Alcohol intake & shakes are very much like Photoshop - both depend to a great degree on "levels". :confused:

I guess I should have specified. I wanted to get the effect of the body going into nothingness. Like all you can see is highlights on his skin, and there is no background - is it just burned out?
