no It might be possible on a non-reflex lens camera (no mirror to reflect), digital camera or a piece of film in a pinhole camera. It depends on whether the lack of appearance in a mirror is due to mental or physical phenomenon. If it is mental (the vampire is projecting a mental image of the empty mirror) then yes, a photograph will work, but if it is bending the light around itself then no. The problem with the second is that the human eye should be able to see only what the environment can see: we can only perceive what out environment shows. This leads credence to the idea it is a mental thing - the mirror is actually reflecting them, we are being hoodwinked by the vampire. Since the vampire supposedly needs eye contact for control (like Medusa) being able to see the vampire in a mirror and yet not having direct eye contact might allow a person to avoid the control effect and yet possibly affect their ability to say, stake the vampire. IF the vampire is afraid of what we can possibly see in a regular mirror, it would make sense to cloud our minds as to whether they show in a mirror. Again this leads to another idea: the vampire is able to produce illusions but only small ones, not compete world replacement, since we don't know how the illusions are being created, we don't actually know whether it is possible to generate a full world illusion. Another note: if the vampire did a full world illusion, maybe she/he would spend so much of his/her energy and mental powers on maintaining the illusion that they would be vulnerable to any nearby Van Helsing. By only using small illusions they are able to protect themselves as needed.

Why don't vampires show up in mirrors?

Vampires don't mind mirrors actually. They are afraid of crosses but not mirrors. The connection between mirrors and vampires is that vampires can't be seen in mirrors. I suppose if mirrors did bother a vampire it would be because perhaps they are tortured by the fact that they can never be human again, and not being able to see their reflection would be a reminder of this.

Why do vampires have no mirror image?

I believe vampires having no mirror image has something to do with the fact that they have no soul. In a metaphorical sense, a mirror is supposed to show you exactly as you are and in this case vampires can be considered to be "empty", since they have given up on their previous life and existence.
