Fortnightly Picture Project - #1 Reflection

I decided i wanted to take a fancy looking mirror and put it somewhere completely out of context, after drawing up a few sketches i thought i'd shoot some with someone holding the mirror, to add to the sense of surrealism - it also works as a sort of mask or disguise.. and even camouflages the person. I was originally going to shoot this with a massive contrast between the reflection and the background - say stood on one side of a street that looks really posh reflecting the otherside of a street that looks rundown (there are alot of streets in Blackburn that look like this! haha) but i decided to shoot in the woods to add more of a camouflage effect rather than making it more conceptual and complicated. Here are some sketches i made when drafting ideas:


 

And here are the images i took:

This is the image i chose to use as my final image, i had a really hard time choosing between the four images but chose this since its the closest to what i had in mind.
