50 Smashing Reflection Photography Examples to Boost Your Creativity
Reflection is a great way to spice up a lifeless photo and create a beautiful composition. Using water, mirrors, windows or any other kind of reflective surface can change an image into a work of art.
The best thing about using reflection is that you can turn something really simple and straightforward into something abstract, richer and even mysterious. However, reflection photos can be rather dull, so it’s good to be able to see things in a different way.
Photographing reflections in water and other surfaces is difficult and almost impossible without learning and preparation. Plenty of different guidelines were written on this topic, so here I’d like to share inspiration instead of tips. Here are 50 smashing reflection photography ideas to give fuel to your imagination. In this showcase, mostly water reflections are shown as they’re the most common, reflective surface in nature. Scroll down and enjoy the collection!
