My photography session on the topic 'reflection' was very interesting as I had to try and find reflections in obscure places so my whole collection wasn't just reflections in windows, I was very interested in the reflection of objects not just reflective surfaces. A particular reflection I liked to use was the reflection of people, I took photographs of myself and others as the reflective surface doubled our images. Reflection unlike a lot of the other formal elements is not vague, in fact it is so specific its almost too specific because nobody can fake a reflection therefore it made it difficult for the opposite reason because it was hard to find reflections.
I liked this photograph due to the way it shows landscape reflection in the huge mirrored windows, the reflection is so perfect if you weren't concentrating you might try and walk on the other side.
I like this photograph because there's almost a fishbowl effect where my camera lens is so close to the reflective surface, the water marks give it an interesting effect.
Progression:
If I had the opportunity to progress with this topic I definitely would but I would look more at reflections within glass and liquid, I would explore the look of these different surfaces as I feel I focused mainly on the cliche of mirrored reflection in this session. I definitely like the idea of studying this topic more in depth due to the fact that no two reflection images will ever be the same due to the fact that with every change in light there will be a change in reflection.
