Finding and photographing reflections on the streets of New York

Seeking a more abstract view of your surroundings can make a familiar scene seem fresh and exciting.

In these images taken across New York City, I’ve practiced looking for colors and subjects of interest reflected through surfaces like puddles and vehicles.

I find that even just looking for these kinds of compositions boosts my creativity and ability to see compositions differently. Its a great exercise for any photographer.
