REFLECTIONS COMPETITION

Reflection photography, also called mirror photography, uses reflective surfaces that occur in nature, such as a still lake or man-made objects, like a city centre building for example, to create interesting compositions.
Reflections are incredibly beautiful tools to use in photography, and once you start looking for them, you might be surprised to discover how plentiful they are.
As you might expect, the most beautiful reflections are found on the surface of water. But remember, tiny puddles are also perfect for reflection photography.
In addition to a still surface of water, you can find great reflections on glass surfaces, cars, wet tarmac, ice or anything that has a mirrored effect.
It can be tempting to focus purely on the reflection. However, for the best results, your reflection photos should show a mix of reflection and reality.
It’s also important to remember that reflections don’t need to be perfect. In fact, reflections become so much more interesting when they are unpredictably distorted.
Symmetry is one of the most powerful tools in reflection photography. Most reflection photos have a degree of symmetry, and it can be cleverly emphasised to create a dramatic and powerful composition.
Your challenge for this competition is to enter images that use Reflections to create a strong composition. We look forward to receiving your images that show how you have creatively used Reflections to draw an emotional response to your images.

This competition will close at midnight (GMT) on Friday 28th February 2025
