I've tried a few times with varying success, gauging where the sun is so that you don't get your own reflection in the frame and getting an interesting composition can be tricky, You know when you get into the zone and suddenly realise someone is staring back out at you, Yep done that too lol
That's my next photo walk sorted, I was getting a little bored of the mundane light n shade. or architectural shots. It's true reflections do add interesting layers. Thanks for the tips Tim
I see Mr. Saul leiter come alive ! Bravo Tim 👏👏 Thank you so much for this great episode and sharing. What are your mostly used go-to focal lens? (I have a feeling that you like to incorporate one mid-long focal lens into your bag).
Thank you Ryan! Yeah 100% I take thousands of experimental photos to get to one that I kinda like haha. Just gotta keep taking shots, getting inspiration and ideas, and taking shots
This is my kinda of photography, I look for the aesthetic and shooting through things and off of reflected surfaces gives me the images I like (and hopefully others do too)
Thanks Tim it was very enjoyable video to watch like all your RUclips videos. I am glad this video came up here which I must have last time not seen. It something I tried afew years ago in Southport with reflections I remember people looking at me wondering why I was standing in one place looking through a window my friend explained to them what I was doing 😮 hahaha 😂🤣
Have to say Tim, I’ve watched and followed numerous RUclips photographers, their tips, and inspiration. I think I’ve finally found my real go to in your videos and well explained tips. Top man, keep up the good work. Itching to dust down my Fuji, and get out there. Thanks again for the inspiration.
Great tips as usual! How do you manage focus in reflection photos? Do you rely on manual focus? Or how do you get your autofocus to focus on a remote human character instead of on anything that's on or beyond the window?
I always use autofocus on reflection shots, just experiment with a small single point and also try different aperture to get the look and focus I want :)
Great video, it can be difficult in street photography to stand out with your images as the can look two dimensional, by adding other ways looking at composition your images can become unique.
Thank you! Glad you like it. You’re totally right, very hard to stand out these days but reflections and abstraction can definitely help to give more uniqueness to your work :)
Thanks for watching :) Do you incorporate reflections in your street photography?

Aww that’s very kind! Glad you enjoyed the video. I switch between the Fuji 50mm f/2 and 35mm f/2 on an APSC camera :)
I love this style of photography but I have a hard time finding good compositions with reflections. Def takes works/practice.

Haha thanks mate! Yeah I used to feel awkward when I first started photographing reflections, now I just find it funny the reactions I get lol

Thanks for the video. Will look for reflections when I go out this weekend for my weekly photo walk.
Thank you Sean! That comment has made my day. :)

Glad I found this channel, love your images. Would really like to see a video on your workflow with your camera and how you have it set up.
Thank you! Glad you like my work! Hopefully a video like that coming up soon :)
Excellent Video!
That would be great if you make a series
- Motion Blur
- Juxtaposition
- Shadows - Silhouettes
Etc
-
Thanks so much! Hopefully will be getting some more videos out in the series soon :)
What an informative and inspiring video! I can’t wait to get out there and put this into practice.
Thank you, David! I really appreciate that. Glad you found it helpful 🙏🏻
These are such wonderful tips and shots as examples. Keep up the great work!!
Thank you!!
Very nicey, makes me want to go out and do some street photography
Thanks mate, happy to hear that :)

Really useful, clear and extremely well thought out and presented! Ps you bookcase and mine have loads in common :-)
Thank you so much, Huw! Really happy you think so :). And glad to hear it - I’m always looking to expand my photo book collection! Haha
Nice.
I need to up my reflection game.
Also many happy accidents can happen that catch one by surprise.
This for me is more interesting than just talking photos of people walking in the street.
Thanks mate!
