Reflection Photography Lesson

What is Reflection Photography?

Reflection photography is the idea taking pictures using something that would offer a mirrored image.

There are many different methods you could use to accomplish this. For example, you can take a picture using water (lake, ocean, sea etc.), glass or anything else that offers a reflection. Below are some examples of reflection photography.



As you can see in the images above, the first is taking an picture of a building using a puddle. Second, in the image with tables and chairs you can see a tree through the reflection of the table. In both images thew view is upside down and requires you to think. Therefore, we have to consider why we are taking these photos.

Why do Reflection Photography?

The main purpose of reflection photography is to offer a different perspective on traditional photos. Essentially, you are turning the world upside down, whilst adding confusion to the scene. Upon seeing your image, it should be difficult to spot the source of the image.

If done correctly, the picture can produce something beautiful as you can see below.
