Good Lifestyle

Art is a beautiful and subtle thing. We do not always know what to expect. When you talk about the art of photography, people usually expect the subject to be in the front and center image, however,Sebastian Magnani took a different approach.

Instead of photographing his topics directly, he takes pictures of their reflections in a spherical mirror. His subjects are things of nature: the sky, the moon, the branches of trees, the flower, the leaves.

They are often completed or juxtaposed with the bottom on which the mirror poses. So, sometimes you will see a tree flower surrounded by grassy floor terrace, the moon with a hard sidewalk as a background or a clear contrast of a beautiful sky with fluffy clouds against the backdrop of the bottom of the bottom dirt.

Reflections is an interesting project that makes you think of what beauty is and how we perceive it.
This project is still in progress but has already won two prizes:

• GOSEE, STILLS, GOLD & PUBLIC WINNER, 2015
