Over at My Modern Metropolis I came across the talented art historian Joanna Lemanska who sees the city of Paris in a whole new light after having lived there for the last four years. Using her iPhone 4s, a Fujifilm x10 or a Nikon Coolpix, she finds a puddle or a shiny object like mirrors, glass and metal and uses them to shoot incredibly beautiful reflections of Paris.
I enjoy all kind of reflections and I don’t have any particular preference for Paris. It could be London, Berlin or New York, she tells us. “It’s just that I live in Paris, so naturally the majority of my photos are taken there. What I’m looking for in reflections are perfect composition and aesthetic pleasure. Sometimes reflections give a unique, aquarelle-like look to the picture. Sometimes they make the image look futuristic and incredible. Shooting reflections is like a playground for me as I really enjoy looking for puddles and slippy surfaces, just to see what kind of different effects they have to offer.”
If you like her images as much as I do make sure to follow her Facebook, 500px and Instagram.
