ABSTRACT:
A camera construction includes a front primary lens to focus a primary image of an object to be photographed, onto a film frame of a photosensitive film. A rear secondary lens and a reversely bent light path arrangement focuses an image of the user onto a portion of the same film frame of the film. A rear external mirror enables the photographer to align properly his or her image relative to the rear secondary lens.
In use, the photographer focuses on the primary object of the picture, and then positions the camera at approximately arm's length, while maintaining the primary object in focus. The photographer then aligns his or her face relative to the rear mirror so that when the user sees his or her image in the rear mirror, the user's image is properly aligned with the rear lens. Upon obtaining this orientation, the shutter release of the camera construction is activated to expose both of the front and rear images simultaneously to the same film frame.
