Mirror Ice

Ice on mirror

As the Ice melted some of the patterns and oxygen spaces within the ice cubes became more prominent and obvious as they weren’t as obscured by the frozen frosty effect on the ice. These images are of Ice cubes melting on a mirror top. I decided to do this to represent the feature of reflection water has. In all my previous shoots I have mentioned how patterns are created by the light reflected through the water and also how object are reflected in water like a mirror. Ice however doesn't hold this refection factor.

Using a mirror within my images emphasised the ice as its duplicated filling a vast section of the image and only leaving one third blank. I have edited these images on Photoshop to enhance the patterns within the ice cube mainly but also to blank out the background so that it's purely black. This makes the rule of thirds more successful and also disguises the use of the mirror and tricking the eye into believing the quantity of ice.
