Reflections in Mylar


For the past couple years, I've been experimenting with photographing reflections of figures and faces in mylar. I love the misty, translucent quality of the mylar, and how it dulls the the color and makes the reflections even more surreal. This is from a press release from a recent show of some of the images:

“It is important for me to find these distorted forms, to experience
the discovery of them and their amorphous, dreamlike nature. I
could never create them using digital or darkroom manipulation.
The peculiarity of the distortion through the mylar is far more
bizarre than anything I could consciously conjure”.

First let me say, I. Love. It! I wanted you to know that I did some college photography work in fun house mirrors which have a very similar effect, you may want to try that, also I did some with reflections in saw blades which worked out really well for me.
