Reflections Inspired by and in the style of Adrienne Adams

I chose to pursue this because I felt strongly that I wanted to incorporate Adrienne Adams style of reflections on water but alter it slightly to focus more on dark-light contrasts rather than colour. I achieved this by taking my photographs in a light foggy environment, this made the reflections less sharp and blend more fluently into the environment. However I exaggerated the contrast slightly to bolden and add depth and strength to the shadowed reflections. This put strong emphasis onto the structure as it portrayed the dominating shadows as strong and bulky. This is interesting to me because I feel that I created the strong structures of rocks successfully, but to compliment this with alternative and more delicate features slightly less strong structures. This for me worked well as I could put into perspective the similarities of contrast between the big and small structures showing them both to be strong no matter what their size. I believe I am happy with how this shoot went, including a range of shots between close up macro effects, to show the intricate details of each natural structure and how the role it plays in its environment and also the bigger structures that more so impact their surroundings rather than what they contribute to them. I find interesting how the delicate textures prove to give way to a sharper tone of reflection, allowing us to see the structure of the rocks or object far more clearer.
