Reflection Photography can spice up an otherwise lifeless photo and turn it into amazing shots. And the good thing is that this kind of photography can be explored on easily available things like Glass, Water or any shiny and reflective surface. Reflection photography is an art because you have to dig deep into your imagination to see the hidden beauty. It is also a science because you should know the right angles and techniques and must be more than familiar with your camera to capture a perfect shot.
You must master the skill of Reflection Photography if you really want to satisfy your creative hunger and give wings to your imagination. Today we present some splendid examples of Reflection Photography.

Chihuly Bridge of Glass – it`s 3D, isn’t it?
There are too many wonderful shots to choose a favorite, but as a cat lover, I am partial to the Cat and Nine Lifes (though it should be “Lives.”) It’s such a simple concept, beautiful results.
Great showcase!
As I wrote a couple of days ago on psdfan I’m fascinated by reflection effect in photography and I take reflection shot very often.
Please have a look to this shots:
