Reflection Definition


  • The throwing back by a body or surface of light, heat, or sound without absorbing it.
  • Although not strictly a formal element, reflection is an important consideration in framing a composition and establishing balance.
  • Although we can take a literal definition of perspective on the term reflection, we should also review reflection in a wider abstract perspective.
Own definition of reflection: an image that is seen that is seen as 2 pictures, one seen normally and one seen in a shiny surface that captures and throws out light and therefore another picture is created.





This picture shows a couple and the sky in the reflection of a pair of glasses on the sand, the light from the glasses is also reflected onto the sand next to the glasses.









This picture shows the reflection of a man in the water on a platoon out in the sea, the reflection of the water also shows the sky, the figure and the object he is standing on.









This picture shows the reflection of the sky, clouds and mountains, the colours are darker in the reflection but also clear and crisp in colour.













 This picture shows the reflection of a man standing on the sand, it also shows the sky and the pier of the beach, the image is almost symmetrical and and very similar in colour.
