Sebastian Magnani
Sebastian Magnani is an photographer and media designer born and based in Switzerland. His work centered around reflections in nature is simplistic in appearance but skilful in the way the camera needs to be manipulated to achieve the desired outcome. He focuses on reflections of objects such as leaves, flowers, trees and the reflections of the sky in a round mirror which is central in the portrait-oriented photograph, but also maintains the focus of the background to give contrast and variation.
All three of theses photos show a reflection of a tree in a circular mirror on different surfaced floors and all of the mirrors are in the middle of the photo which draws your eye towards it.The angle of which the photographer took this photo i at an angle that allows him to take a picture of the mirror straight on but also not get himself or the camera in the way of the reflection. I feel as if the photographer has sharpened the mirror or cleaned so therefore it is clear. Also the photographer has used natural light instead of the camera light.
First Response
In my response, I took inspiration from Magnani's work and placed a mirror on the ground in an aim to capture what was on the other side of the camera which couldn't be seen.

Antonio Gutterrez
Antonio Gutierrez is a photographer from Spain. This artist uses distortion in an original and clever way, by positioning two rounded drinking glasses in front of the models eyes so they appear bug-like or parts of the face so that the model is distorted. This result is an almost fantasy like image of person with exaggerated features. It shows that the images are well thought through, as in the image on the left the glasses have been filled to the same level with water and placed without any distance from one another.

Murray Fredericks
Australian photographer Murray Fredericks has made at least twenty journeys to the center of Lake Eyre, a desert lake with an extremely high concentration of salt. Fredericks drags all of his equipment out into the barren landscape, capturing the dramatic sky reflected in both the inch-deep water and his rectangular mirror

Theses are a few of my own photos to respond to the Photographer.
Reflections of Fashion
Fashion can reflect the individuality of a person while at the same time show their allegiance to a certain group or genre.Fashion creates different color and style through clothes, pants, jewelries, shoes, bags, and other goods. It definitely makes life meaningful, brighter, more emotional, and more beautiful. In addition, fashion is not just clothes but it is the most fragile art and can form pop culture.
Daniele Tamagni - Gentlemen of Bacongo
I found a few of my own version of this that my friend and I took during the week-end as we too do the same thing as we Congolese wear really smart and colourful suit to show everyone the colours of our suit and to attract people attention by the colours of our clothes. I love these because they really show the colours and it can attract other people attention meaning that our clothing are really nice. It also reflects the colours of the clothing which is why people get attracted by the colours. It is called Sapologie. (meaning dress up nicely.)

Patterns And Structure and Reflections
Patterns are simply repeated shapes, colour's or objects, ordered in either regular or irregular formations. As a photographer, using pattern is key to good composition and, when used effectively, can transform an otherwise bland image into something dramatic and eye catching. Patterns are formulated all around us- in both natural and man made settings. The key for photographers is firstly to find them, and then secondly to use the scene to our advantage creating a beautiful art work.

Tim Walker-The Wonderful thing review.
During the photography trip we went to a exhibition called Tim Walker-The Wonderful Things. We saw a variety of picture that Tim Walker took. Personally, I didn't like the photography as much as the pictures weren't really captivating and isn't really thrilling because of the type of style they used but the ;location they used and the background weren't so bad. I liked the way he used different type of location which matches with the style. but in general, the photos weren't as interesting as I expected to be. If they used more natural photos and not using weird fashion then it would be at least interesting. I didn't take much photos there so i don't have any photos to put here so i just took photos that was there from the website.

Slava Semeniuta
Slava Semeniuta is an artist and photographer. She was born in Siberia, the Russian Federation but nearly all her life she had lived in Minsk, Belarus. Recently, She live in Sochi, Russia, the sea and the mountains. She loved everything that looks cosmic. Neon colors are colors that are rarely found in nature. In the oceans live deepwater creatures that have the property to fluorescence. In cosmos, there are ultraviolet radiation rays which are only visible neon colours.
We took her example because the way she took the images of reflection of water and the colours to combine the two to make a even better photos to create the same image so we our own version and even did our own version.

Combining Buildings
I used photoshop to edit these pictures to make it looker more realistic and added clouds and a blue sky to make the pictures looker more sunnier and better as the original photos were really gloomy and didn't really attract people as the colour weren't to attractive. Adding clouds and a blue sky makes it more interesting and more beautiful and it also makes people feels more intrigued by the photos.
These final photos were all taken in Warren Street, a area which is near central London so you can already see big buildings and also see expensive branding. These photo were a success as they have reflections of the surrounding area behind me, an area you would of not seen if the windows had no reflection on it. I, myself loves these photos as they look really nice and interesting and probably one of the best photos I ever taken. All of these photos were taken on my phone because it was easier.

Link Artist- Eli is a photographer with a passion for shooting reflections. Her work has got a distant style and she has a very strong eye. Her first photography book "Folk" was released in 2008. I chose her because she was able to take pictures of reflection in building which is significant as it shows the surrounding area just by taking a picture of the building.
