A MOMENT’S REFLECTION: CODY SMITH’S UNIQUE TAKE ON NATURE PHOTOGRAPHY

Shadows and sunsets become one – sand and sky unite and a man-made object becomes part of nature in Cody Smith’s continuous series, A Moment’s Reflection. The Los Angeles based photographer gets out of the city and into the outdoors, bringing a unique perspective to the beauty of nature photography. Smith uses reflections as the focal point–not photoshopped ones, but ones that display strategic placements of large circular mirrors creating beautiful juxtapositions of nature’s textures and landscapes. Some photos play with light, others simply make the mirror look like transparent glass, and a select few bring in people. In his words, “My intention is to draw new connections between familiar forms by introducing specular reflections to environments where none would typically exist.”
