Reflection and Framing Straight Images

Refection and Framing Straight Images

This first image is one of the best ones taken during this project. I took inspiration from a German Photographer known as Rut Blees Luxemburg. She is best known for her work with reflections using water and lights. Instead of artificial lights, I used natural daylight to create the reflection in the water. The subject itself is a caged fence.

This next image is one of my favourites out of this photoshoot as there is both reflection and framing within this image. The subject is a camera with a model standing out of frame. The lens, which also acts as a frame, shows a reflection of the model thanks to the natural daylight reflecting her onto the lens.

This next image is also both reflection and framing, however framing is more prominent. Within the image is also an implied reflection as there is another student taking a photo of the framing, but is within the frame. The implied reflection is of the photographer taking the image as the other student acts as the reflection. The other refection is on the silver metal itself where the light is reflecting off it.

This next image shows aspects of both framing and reflection. Framing was the priority of the image however. The subject of this image is a sculpture outside of college campus that was framed so that the observer is looking through one hole that looks into multiple others.

This final image shows both framing and reflection also. The subject is a mosaic that has mirrored and glass tiles. I used a part of the mosaic that has one mirrored tile surrounded by other tiles that are not reflective. The mirrored tile gives an illusion of framing as the tile looks indented into the wall. The mirrored reflection of a building opposite acts as the reflection. Therefore, this image holds both reflection and an illusion of framing.
