Photographing Reflections

Saturday 03 May
Centre Street SW - 10am - 2 Hours
William Chornobrywy
We will be using natural water reflections and seeking out man-made reflective surfaces in the area to explore how we can use reflections to add depth and intrigue to our images. Reflections can help us to show our subject from an unusual, or from multiple, points of view. We can use reflections to abstract our subject or to make perfect mirror images. We'll even have a look at how we can create our own reflections when there are none around.

    Overall, the street photography class was a thoroughly enjoyable and informative experience. The small group size, knowledgeable instructor, and hands-on approach made it a worthwhile investment. I would recommend this class to anyone interested in exploring the exciting world of street photography.

    Title or Location: Nose Hill Park
    There?s something about this scene from Nose Hill Park that feels like the beginning of a fantasy adventure. The stillness, the snow-covered path, and the way the trees close in?it felt like stepping into another world. Shot on film, the grain adds a dreamlike, timeless quality, like a half-remembered memory or a scene from a storybook. Sometimes, it?s less about capturing a place and more about chasing a feeling.

    The Old Oak Tree, 2025.This is one of my favorite trees. It is situated alone in a huge field on a little farm near where I live. Every time I see it and the little rope swing that hangs from it, it just fills me with a sense of peace and tranquility. I wanted to portray that in this minimalist, high key version of it.
