The reflection is my way of trying to find myself. Though, as a teenager, I am not alone, I feel as if I am very unsure of who the real me is and this image shows how I am still searching. I used the layering tool in photoshop to place one image of just the mirror on top of another image of me in front of the mirror showing my reflection. I was then able to erase the area of the mirror on the top layer to show only my reflection.
View from the passenger's seat. I shot up throught the windshield to get the most color in the raindrops and still keep the reflection on the car hood.
Reflections in Downtown Boston as seen from the edge of the North End. I was particularly interested in how the windows from the building in the foreground also captured reflections.
Subjects who wear eye glasses can offer a unique difficulty for photographers. First, there’s the dilemma of whether they should wear them or not (will they not feel & look like themselves without them? Are they hiding fabulous eyes behind those glasses?) And then there’s the problem of glare and reflection. An attentive photographer will pay attention to this factor, but it does cause issues and where a photo might be perfectly composed and lit, but a little glare in the glasses can throw the whole thing off.
All those tips for creating great catchlights? Forget ‘em. Reflectors aimed at the eyes, facing a light source…all these techniques will only show up as mirror-like reflections in the glass.
When using artificial or studio lighting, have your subject turn away from the lights just a tad and pay attention to what’s going on in the glasses.
As if pop-up flash wasn’t already a no-no, it’s even more so when your subject is wearing glasses
A rather strange suggestion is to have your subjects tilt the glasses downward only 1/2 an inch (just push them up from where they rest on their ears). This tiny bit of angle and make a huge difference. In the same manner, you can also experiment with having them tilt their head or the angle from which you’re shooting.
I'm not that used to black and white photography but this one was well suited for it! It has a high luminance range and superb contrast. This could make one nice place for an Halloween party. You like it? I'd be happy that you share it!
Je ne suis pas tellement habitué aux photos noir et blanc. Celle-ci s'y prêtait bien avec sa large plage lumineuse et son contraste élevé. Ça pourrait faire une belle place pour une fête d'Halloween avec quelques zombies. Vous l'aimez? Je serais qu'heureux que vous la partagiez!

There are often great reflections in the Albert Dock with so much glass and water. Of course there is always some nuisance in the way :)
