The element of "reflection" is extremely important in many still photography and moving images. Whether it is mirror metal, lakes, rivers, or even a pool of water on the ground, as long as it can reflect an image, it can make the original ordinary picture full of imagination and charm. Today’s protagonist, Daniel Antunes, a photographer from Portugal, loves this element very much. He often goes to the streets to look for various reflections in the streets, and his best partner is the inconspicuous puddles of water on the ground. Through them, classical buildings, random pedestrians passing by, and bright yellow traditional buses have a different new look.
I still remember the introduction in the past that "Rainy days are also photo-taking days, and 'Reflections' can help you see the world from a different angle." French photographer Yodamanu also used the same concept to make the image reflected by the standing water the protagonist, making it a bit hazy. , a somewhat poetic photography. But the slight difference is that Antunes does not regard the reflection in the water as the protagonist, but allows the real image to occupy most of the area in the picture. The reflection is the most eye-catching supporting role. Even if it is only a small corner, it will attract peoples attention. Automatically attracted.
For photographer Antunes, the best weather for taking pictures is not a rainy day, but a blue sky after the rain. When the ground is dry or not, it best gives him the feeling he wants. Although there are not such beautiful buildings everywhere in Taiwan that can be photographed, it may be a good choice to use the same techniques to present scenes close to your and my lives, making simple street photography more distinctive. If so,Those who are interested should really try it out after the rain!
