Chasing Reflections by Eli Reinholdstein is the latest release from Craft & Vision and the newest eBook in the Print and the Process series. Reflections are something I’ve never photographed much and reading this eBook has opened my mind up to a new approach to photography.

The cover photo (see above) shows how including a reflection can add an extra layer of interest to the composition. This is a photo of a man hosing down an ice rink, and if that’s all that was in the photo, it would probably still be a good one. But add the reflection, and the contrast between the golden light in the reflection and the blue ice, and suddenly you have depth and a photo with impact.

Eli explains in her eBook how she goes about taking photos of reflections and gives some pointers regarding the best light and time of day to shoot. It’s illustrated throughout with her beautiful photos.

I recommend that if you’ve never taken photos of reflections that you go out and do so (I know I will).
