Abstract
A visor optical camera viewing system for sighting a camera for taking candid photographs includes a visor mounted mirror utilized in combination with a vertically oriented viewing screen on a camera for permitting a photographer to hold the camera at waist level and sight the camera in any direction from side to side or ahead while having the head and eyes turned straight ahead. This arrangement permits the taking of candid photographs without the subject being aware of the taking of the picture.
