LIGHT & REFLECTION


Today I was struck by the beauty of light when I looked to the window after my shower. Lighting is so important when trying to get a beautiful photo, but so often I miss those moments because they are so fleeting. I am going to try and have my camera with me at all times so that I can capture every moment of well-lit beauty.


I have also been fascinated with reflection in photography, and captured these self portraits in our dining room window at midday. It was -6 degrees Celsius here this morning so I was well wrapped up inside. Some lovely examples of light-influenced photography below.


Artist Alexander Harding has made light the subject of the majority of his work. Here are just a few, but you can see his full collection here.
