Reflecting New York - A Brilliant Twist on Street Photography - Photographs and text by Stefan Falke

REFLECTING NEW YORK. The Empire State Building. Using a hand held mirror in locations around New York - here The Empire State Building - I invite distant buildings, structures or other nearby scenes into the main photo to create a viewing experience that requires a second look. My goal is to visually loosen up the obvious, to create images that surprise me as much as I hope they will surprise and intrigue the viewer. © Stefan Falke
