Set 2 – Self Reflection

 

In my second set, I decided to implement reflection more uniquely self-reflection. I was inspired by Lee Friedlander, an American photographer recognized for his creative approach to self-portraiture and street photography. For this set, I decided to use myself as the main subject; I was able to set my camera up and position myself to portray myself in various settings and moods. Drawing inspiration from Friedlander’s unique use of mirrored surfaces, I sought diverse settings that would allow me to incorporate a wide range of reflections into my photography. For many of my shots, I used a flashlight to add a shadow effect to many of my photos, and by using close-ups and wide shots, I could capture introspective self-portraits. To improve my images, I could have included more subjects and self-reflective elements in my photos, such as objects or symbols representing my identity.
