For my second set of photos, I found inspiration in the renowned Japanese photographer Naoya Hatakeyama, known for his portrayal of reflections in natural environments. Drawing from his influence, I focused on capturing the relationship between reflections and the surrounding environments and landscapes. Similarly, I photographed a lake that mirrored the lush trees in the background. I incorporated a symmetrical element by featuring two individuals in the frame, further accentuating the visual harmony and balance within the composition. This symmetrical line that ‘invisibly” cuts through the middle acts as leading lines, guiding the viewers to focus more on the two individuals, and creating a strong visual presence. On the other hand, my photos are all very vibrant which captures the audience’s attention due to the intensity and richness of the color. The orange vibe of the sunset creates a contrast making the reflections stand out even more and sharpening the composition. One thing I changed from what my artist did was the positioning of his main objects. I thought it would create a pretty strong visual effect by positioning the main subjects not in the middle of the frame but instead on the side. This creates a dynamic composition by including more of the surrounding environment, it allows for negative space and empty areas providing a balance and breathing room for the composition.
