Reflections

While exploring Hong Kong I was playing with the photographic opportunities reflective surfaces offer. Anything from glass, to water, to sunglasses can open up a range of interesting perspectives. This adds an extra element of visual interest, and can even become the subject of the photo.

In the first photo I used the glass façade and overhang of a building to capture the reflection of pedestrians. While it gives the illusion of a bird’s eye vantage point, the photo was taken from the ground and then flipped, which is betrayed by the inverted buildings in the top-right corner.
