KEY POINTS!
Eliminate Distractions!!!
Only include things that add to the photo.
The best way to simplify reflection photos is to remove any distractions from the frame so that only the important parts of the image – namely the subject and the reflection – are left.
There is something pure and magical about eliminating everything but your subject and its reflection from the frame.
VIEWPOINT!
Get Close to the Surface
One of the best things that you can do to really make your reflection photos stand out is getting really close to the reflective surface. Many of the photos I take are taken less than an inch from the surface of water. This allows you to position your subject with nothing but the sky in the background, put emphasis on the reflection and create a symmetrical photo where the reflection extends towards the horizon.
LOOK FOR SYMMETRY!!
Emphasize Symmetry
Symmetry is one of the most powerful tools in reflection photography. After all, most reflection photos show some degree of symmetry, and you can easily emphasize it to create a visually dramatic effect.
