I went about this assignment in two ways, only one produced a photo that I was happy with. The first (failed) method of photographing transparency I attempted was to shoot through a space. I wanted a subject to be on opposite side of a contained volume of space and to shoot the subject through the volume. I still think this is a valid idea; however, I have not yet achieved the results I was looking for. The second and more successful idea was to shoot a surface that offered a level of transparency as well as reflection to create a tension. My idea was that whatever was showing through the transparent surface had to be vivid enough to pull the eye from the reflection. I think I am fairly successful here with the blue legs of the tables. These pop, to me offering a subject for my eye to focus on. I only wish there were two people sipping espresso at the table. I think if there were a little something else on the interior of the space the photo would be stronger...but all in all, I feel good about this.
