Los Angeles-based photographer Cody William Smith has an intriguing series titled ‘A Moment’s Reflection’ featuring beautiful landscapes reflected in mirrors.
He plays with perspective and reflection by positioning large circular mirrors in various settings such as dirt, sand, or the sea, which catch the reflections of different spaces nearby. The juxtaposition of multiple landscapes in the same frame creates a surreal optical effect and the resulting photos are unexpectedly harmonious, with some containing contrasting scenes of dark and light surroundings and others blending in to form near-seamless images.
Smith explained, “My intention is to draw new connections between familiar forms by introducing specular reflections to environments where none would typically exist. The mirrors serve as a focal point within a given scene and also function as a window to provide an entirely unique perspective on the same location.”
