To be a truly creativity photographer, you must develop an eye for more than the obvious element within a composition. For example, a portrait may be more creative and compelling because of the shadows and contrast that you manipulate with the light source, not necessarily the look of the person being portrayed. Another less obvious element that beginner, and even many amateur, photographers overlook is reflections. Water, windows, mirrors or a shiny metal surface suddenly become creative tools if you are looking for them and understand how to position you and your camera at the correct angle. The following tips will help you become more aware of reflections in your shooting environment, and then how to use them creatively.
