Reflections • My Favorite Reflection Photography • (8) Original Works 📸

in photography •  7 years ago  (edited)

I have always been drawn to reflections, especially on glass or water.

When I find myself wandering around with a camera, reflections are something I almost always look for; it usually makes a good picture. Sometimes light cooperates just the way you want it to - that's when we snap.

Without boring you to death, I'd like to share some of my original reflection photos taken over the years. The following photos were taken from 2009 to present. I love them all, so they are in no particular order (ok, I lied...the first one is my absolute favorite!).

I believe that reflections can tell us what the 'other side' is like. It's a more of a window than a mirror, to me at least. It doesn't just reflect back the world to us, it shows us the opposite of what we see. Are we backward creatures? Maybe.

The society that we live in, today, seems pretty ass-backward to me. And very similar to these images I've shared, the world is sometimes upside down and opposite from what your eye sees. Reflecting can offer you another vantage point. It's reflections that show us both views, simultaneously; it is people that try to convince us that there's only one way to see.

Sometimes you'll find the 'reflection' can show you two different views of the same reality. Which one is a ​reality to you? Or do you accept both?



You can see whatever you want, but that does not mean that's what it is.

Reflection in water of any objects are better than reflection in glass, hope you will agree. You have captured tremendous reflection in your cameras 📷. i love it. Upvote

I love water, so I might be bias..lol I also love reflective glass on buildings though. I've had a camera taken by security for photographing a building once, in D.C - I had no idea it was illegal to photograph the building! 😆 #lessonlearned AND it was a work camera 😬
