A twist on book title “Beyond the Looking Glass,” the term refers to the reflection of the camera flash that occurs when someone takes a self portrait while holding the camera up in the mirror. The flash reflects off the mirror and becomes the dominant subject. These cliché self-portraits are used excessively on social networking profiles.
Alice tried to take a picture of herself in the mirror, but only ended up with another Looking Flash.
