Reflection Work Diary

In todays lesson we were asked to take pictures of Reflection. I think reflection has a basic understanding however I found that after a while it begins to get very repetitive with the limited sources i had.
I would like to explore reflection more, with studio equipment if given the opportunity. I would also like to manipulate reflections using photoshop if ii can.

From todays lesson:

Here is a photo I liked

I like this image because you can clearly see the mirror is my source of reflection, my focus was the silver sparkly pot but the center of the image became the side of the pot in the mirror. I also like the fact that you can see the camera illumining the out and can see the camera in the mirror. I think it shows reflection manipulation very well. I also like that the colours all compliment each other really well. White, silver and black is a classic combination.

I did not like this photo

I think that this photo went wrong because the flash was too close to the mirror meaning the entire mirror was covered by light. Also the focus isnt very well and background should be blurred.

If the mirror was center focus it may have come out better. I would also like for the tags and prices not to be in the photo as it makes it seem a little 'tacky'

Progression

Next time I am going to try and be more creative & possibly get the chance to use photoshop to edit and create a good image. I still think that a big thing for me is learning to use the focus/blur on my camera.

If i shoot in the studio for reflection i will being in some objects as well as trying to use human form.

Here are some photos i would like to re-create.
