‘Mirror’ Photographs

Inspiration for Mirror Images

My Mirror Images

These are my final images. These images can be considered as mirror photos as they have been edited and manipulated. For these photoshoots, I used images of graffiti which I took when I went to Liverpool and edited them onto photos of the little white hut (Le Don Hilton) which I took in St Ouen. I think that this is an interesting combination as it takes the natural environment and displays it as an industrial one.

‘Window’ Photographs

My Window Images

It is debatable whether these would be true ‘mirror’ photos as it is turning something real into something that is surreal/has been embellished. This style of photography could be classed as pictorialism as it emphasizes the natural beauty of the sea by altering reality. Since this is altering reality, you could declare that these aren’t true mirror images, however, you could also argue that this is not what your eye truly sees, but rather what the camera sees. Furthermore, these images capture the movement of the sea which is a natural process and, although these outcomes aren’t what the eye would typically see, these photographs are fully organic and have not been edited. Overall, I would say that these images are sit between the mirror and window categories but lean more towards being windows.
