I learned that various artists use different types of reflections in their photos to display unique effects that intrigue the audience. Furthermore, a particular type of reflection can represent a certain mood or/and message the photographer is trying to convey to the audience. The types of reflections in photos are often associated with the time and place the photographer was living in. I also learned that photographers use different techniques to capture reflections. These techniques depend highly on their personal style and purpose, so it is hard to find two photographers who use the same techniques in their photographs. Photographers can change the type of surface the subject is reflected in. They can also adjust the camera’s aperture to focus on minuscule reflections/large reflections. In the sub-genres of reflections, some artists inspire me because they use the concept of reflections as only a part of their photos. They use concepts from multiple other genres and combine them with the concept of reflections to create something truly authentic. Likewise, I will incorporate this in my photos.
