Reflection, Transparency, & Mirror Image

Photography II: Project 2

Objectives

Students will know and be able to demonstrate mastery of compositional guidelines, the art elements and design principles, by creating interesting images using reflected images as the focal point.

Students will manipulate some final images with “distort” filters, and others by flipping a portion of the image horizontally and/or vertically to create a “mirror image.”

Photography Problem

Look for reflective surfaces to create areas of interest in your photographs. You can also try placing a mirror or reflective object right up against your camera lens, angling it to create unique effects.
