Phone Reflection Photography Ideas You Need To Know
The main purpose of this article is here…
I don’t want to give you some outdated and unworking ideas for doing some remarkable reflection photography.
So, this article only contains some genuine and straightforward approaches to reflection photography.
Here are my favourite three ideas you need to know to master this kind of photography.
1. Find Reflection Surface
This is the first and effortless technique to capture awesome reflections in your images.
If you live in a big city like New York then you can easily find random puddles on the streets.
Something like this…
And that makes your work super easy to capture interesting reflection shots.
Just put your camera on the surface and boom, see the magic.
If you own a prime lens its focal length must be short, so it’s better if you use your smartphone camera to capture the whole scenario.
And it gives you a very balanced image at the end.
See the cover picture which is captured using an iPhone 6 + a random puddle.
2. Create your Reflection Surface for Reflection Photography
The first point is easy to understand, but what if there is no puddle at your destination place?
That’s disappointing right ?? but no need to lose hope, it’s not that much.
You can create your reflection surface, yeah it’s very easy.
Just take your water bottle make a simple puddle on the spot, and capture the shot from any location and at any time.
