Reflection By laura macey

My name is Laura Macey I am a photography student at Itchen college. This website is to show my work from my photography project on reflection. In my project I wanted to look at reflective elements and techniques. The elements/ techniques I looked at where: puddles, lakes, false refection(copying an image and flipping the image to the revers side of the image to create a false reflection), the reflections of sunglasses, crystal ball reflective refraction, easel mirror reflections and collection of mirrors to use as reflective elements. In my work I took a lot of my inspiration from the following photographers and artists: Gavin Hammond, Daniel Kukla, Simon Bond and Simon Hennessey. This website is to act as a photo gallery of my work in this project.

Puddle Reflections:

This is my puddle reflection photography inspired by the work of Gavin Hammond.

Morning Lake Reflections:

Under the influence of Gavin Hammond and his puddle photography I decide to expand the watery surface area to lakes where I was able to capture stunning morning lake reflections.

Evening Lake Reflections:

Under the influence of Gavin Hammond and his puddle photography I decide to expand the watery surface area to lakes where I was able to capture stunning evening lake reflections.

False Reflection with Models:

When I saw how well the lake reflection shoot went and the effects of the refection's created. which gave me the idea of experimenting with falsified reflection. I decided to experiment with models first just the see the effects of false refection people. for this I also used a wind machine to take the attention off the models and more about the colours of the models hair. I then wanted to do this same technique with cars.

False Reflection Cars:

as the model false refection technique worked so well I wanted to experiment then with the idea of cars which in my opinion works just as well as the models false reflections.

Sunglasses Reflections:

This is my sunglasses reflection photography that was inspired by artist Simon Hennessey. Who looked at hyper realistic images paintings and drawings what look like photographs. I just wanted to do this from a photographical point of view which turned out to be great fun with really creative outcome.

Crystal Ball Reflective Refraction:

This is my crystal ball reflection photography inspired by the work of Simon Bond and his work with crystal balls.

Easel Mirror Reflections:

This is my easel mirror reflections showing obvious and hidden reflections, the mirrors edge effect as well as a painting illusion. inspired by the work of Daniel Kukla

Collection of Mirrors:

These images are my long rectangle mirror images. each giving different effects to the way the mirror has been used some give the appearance of looking through a blank frame. creating a the illusion of looking through something. Or by angling the mirror in a certain way to create an interesting reflection.
