I had this funky idea of printing a photo on a mirror; a nude profile. My idea was that you would see yourself looking at the nude. I cant find anyone to do this at a reasonable price . Any help appreciated?

I guess "funky" is expensive.

You can print on "overhead" transparency "paper." Then put it onto a mirror. I do a lot of risky things with my own body as a model, I never thought of that. I wonder what effect it would produce? I may try it when I am home, I think I do have some transparency paper from the days in which we used overheads for presentation, before Powerpoint and computer projectors took over.

Go to YouTube and search "Placing pictures on glass". Several videos there on the how-to.

I don't have any advice or suggestion to help you regarding your question.

Seeing that you are a new member of the forum though, having just joined today, Welcome to UHH.

Find some clear acetate that will work in your printer. Size print for mirror and apply.

There are some great videos on transferring photos to glass. I happened by them yesterday looking for something else.

I recommend that you find a sign company or printing service bureau who can print on self-adhesive, optically clear vinyl.

Ive followed a photographer named Nitsa. Her website is http://artbynitsa.com/

She’s got tutorials on transferring images to glass, wood, textured papers and tons of objects. Very informative.
