Reflections are secondary images of objects or of light sources. The moon reflects the light of the sun. Reflected images offer a level of artistic comment not afforded by the image itself. In a real sense, all photographs are reflected images in that a photograph is more a record of light on a subject than a mere subject. As light alters, subjects leave different impressions. Highlights, distorted and undistorted reflections, and superimposed reflections give the photographer opportunities for different creative comments in black-and-white photographs.

Capture highlights in portraits. Each eye should by accentuated be one--no more than two--highlights. Highlights should appear near the center of the eye, but must not obscure the pupil.
2Express the sun's brilliance graphically with a halo that surrounds the subject. This type of sun reflection is not a fault. Rather, it symbolizes the radiance of direct light. For example, without reflections, water looks like a meadow in a photograph. Produce a halo effect with a diffuser in front of the lens.
3Use undistorted reflections with restraint. Reflections on flat surfaces, such as mirror images or people reflected in puddles, can be the least graphically interesting images.
4Photograph distorted reflections. Reflections in curved surfaces, by exaggeration, can convey strong impressions. A reflection in a car fender can express an initial impression of fantastic city madness and confusion. Use a fantastic approach. Confusion is distortion. However, only distort if it fits the sense and meaning of the subject.
5Take a surrealistic approach with superimposed reflections. Reflections that block merchandise in a store window can create almost surrealistic effects since the photographer can expose images in front and behind the lens. In order to achieve successful utilization of superimposed reflections, be certain that both objects relate. Never include a reflection of your camera or yourself.
