Frequently, mirror images are used by photographers to convey serenity in nature of mountains reflected in lakes, for example, as well as in commercial works like this edgy Barry Lewis image of Scott Ridley. And sometimes they’re aimed at grabbing attention or evoking emotion as I believe was the case in the image below. It’s particularly striking because of the predominance of black which creates an almost eerie, disconcerting reaction in the viewer. Does it move you? If so, how?
