I decided to create images using "false reflections" showing how people feel or how they see themselves. even though a mirror reflects the true image of ourself we only see what we perceive ourselves to be.
Reflections
Reflections can create eyecatching mirror images that reflect light and colour beautifully. They help add interest to a composition, some images use symmetrical reflections to do so. Focusing on the angle of reflections help to create the perfect image. Controlling the camera exposure is of key importance as reflections are made in surfaces that bounce a lot of light so it may be necessary to use exposure compensation to increase the exposure.
Using Glasses - Glasses can help add interest by taking a photograph of the reflections made in their dark lens. An aperture of about f/5.6 is best for this type of reflection.
Glass Buildings - Modern Architecture can be a great way of photographing other buildings or landscape reflections.
Water Reflections - Water creates an abstract reflection of your model or location. Creating ripples in the water help add to the abstract effect.
Symmetry in Portraits - This effect is one which is most similar to the effects I have chosen for my exploratory photoshoot. Incorporating a persons reflection in their portrait image bring a sense of balance to the composistion
My favourite element of reflective images is that which emcompases both the focus of the image and its reflection in one photograph, mainly using mirrors to create said reflections.
