Ah, the humble selfie. From flip phones to dual-camera lens system smartphones, we've come a long way. It's become the photo-format-of-choice for documenting those special moments when everyone wants to be included and nobody volunteers to be behind the camera and for feeding the vanity of celebrities, influencers, and us. The most endearing feature of the selfie is that you have full control of the image you portray. And with the mirror selfie, it offers a more intimate, casual medium. It gives you the opportunity to pull the image back and show more of your surroundings and personality. Using the reflection on a mirror to take a selfie was first done by young Russian Duchess, Anastasia Nikoleavna in 1913 with her Kodak Brownie. Today, a spontaneous mirror selfie is a part of our everyday social media vernacular. TikTokers have taken their mirrors outside for their selfies while on Instagram accounts are adapting mirror selfies to fit their own aesthetic (especially when cooped up at home with nobody to take their pictures for them).

A quick scroll on her Instagram proves that she has mastered and made the mirror selfie an integral part of her social media personality. They're dynamic and engaging not only because of her fire fits, but the ways that she expresses her personality through a simple mirror pic. “Mirror selfies are my favorite way to capture myself. I love to document my outfits through mirror selfies, but they became more than just a tool for fit pics." Fiyori says, “The challenge to find new perspectives and to coordinate myself within that frame made me capture my body in ways I never have before haven't seen before either.” For Fiyori, the greatest benefit of mirror selfies is that you can create a strong image by yourself which is really empowering. “To be in full control of the outcome of the image feels unbelievably fulfilling to me.” Fiyori explains, “Regardless of if you’re doing styling or modeling or production for a living, in this industry our work is about collaborating with other visions. Which is beautiful, but the power of not having to rely on another person is an amazing feeling.”
