Quick answer

## The short version

Choose an angle that explains the bathroom without letting the camera reflection or an extreme wide view misrepresent the space. Inspect mirrors and shiny surfaces before the final capture.

## A capture or editing plan

Walk through permitted camera positions and identify what each includes or hides. Make a test that keeps key fixtures visible, then inspect the mirror, tap surfaces and bright tiles. Adjust the camera relationship before planning a digital removal of equipment reflections. Keep lines and proportions believable, and retain the original capture when any presentation edit is made.

## When to change the approach

Do not remove permanent fixtures, damage or structural features from a listing photograph to make the room appear larger or better equipped.

## Worked planning example

Planning example: A doorway view includes the basin and shower but reflects the camera in a mirror. A modest position change reduces the reflection while still showing the actual relationship between the fixtures.

## If the first attempt fails

When the photographer remains visible in a mirror, check a modest change of camera position and the edges of the reflected scene. Do not replace the mirror view with an invented room merely to hide equipment. Keep fixtures and room connections accurate. A slightly less wide frame can be more useful than a sweeping view whose reflection no longer corresponds to the actual bathroom.

## Before you finish

1. Inspect mirrors and reflective fixtures.
2. Check the room's real proportions.
3. Keep permanent features and condition truthful.
