Reflections add a poetic and artistic dimension to couple photography. Whether captured through windows, mirrors, water, or even puddles, reflections offer new perspectives and double the visual narrative within a single frame.
Begin by scouting for reflective surfaces that match your intended mood. Glass storefronts, lakes, rain soaked streets, or vintage mirrors can all serve as tools for creative composition.
Place the couple where the reflection can be clearly seen, then play with angles and focus. Sometimes the reflection becomes the main subject. Other times it becomes a subtle layer that enhances storytelling.
Encourage the couple to move slowly and interact naturally. Reflections often distort slightly, adding a dreamlike or abstract quality that feels emotional and thoughtful.
In editing, adjust contrast and clarity carefully to preserve the reflective effect without over processing. Let the reflection enhance the emotion, not distract from it.
Using reflections in photography adds complexity and intimacy to your couple sessions, elevating them from simple portraits to visual poetry.
