Looked at the first photo and was thinking "he's holding with the wrong hand........wait...... how has he got a left handed camera"

it 'may' be a mirror :oops:

May I suggest you flip the pictures so they look like the way someone would view you holding the camera in real life?

No kidding. Shooting in front of a mirror will just confuse people who dont know.
