A concave mirror can produce a magnified image. If the object is placed between the pole (P) and the focal point (F) of a concave mirror, the image formed is virtual, erect, and magnified. If the object is placed between the focal point (F) and the center of curvature (C), the image formed is real, inverted, and magnified. A person standing in front of a mirror usually refers to viewing an erect image, which happens when they are very close to a concave mirror (within the focal length).
A person standing in front of a mirror finds his image larger than himself. This implies that the mirror is
