In my previous set, I focused primarily on the reflections of the building’s exterior and glass surfaces. For my final set, however, I will concentrate on exploring reflections through different types of glass. The central theme of this collection is the exploration of our duality and inner mind, as we often possess two distinct faces of ourselves that coexist.

The main elements of glass I will use include refraction and optical illusions created by lighting. Since I will be shooting in a studio, lighting will be a priority among other visual techniques, as different lighting can take different appearances of the same object. Although my original intention was to photograph glass exclusively, my research into various inspiring photographs led me to shift my focus toward portraits through glass.

To achieve this, I will use different types of glass, including wine glasses, beer cups, and chemical cylinders (for my model), as well as glasses of varying dimensions. I have selected two models from different races, ages, and countries—one is a friend, and the other is my chemistry teacher as I was initially inspired by the three states of matter in chemistry. The stark contrasts between the models can evoke diverse stories, emotions, and meanings beyond the reflection photographs, all of which connect back to my central theme.

Additionally, I will employ techniques such as composition, strategic lighting, low ISO, and high shutter speed. Overall, my intention for the final set is to convey more than one emotion or story in a photograph, representing our duality.
