Description

I was visiting my friend who lives in Swansea and we were doing what we do best, exploring art galleries of the city. This photo was taken at Glynn Vivian Art Gallery, when my friend just popped out to have a smoke. The rainy day provided with little to low exposure from the outside, causing the well lit gallery cast a great reflection on its glass panels. As my friend had recently finished his Doctoral research, I planned to use this reflection for a quick portrait, while encompassing what he has gone through in the last few years, I.e., consuming a huge amount of knowledge. I adjusted my positioning to use him as the backdrop for better sight of the books from the gift shop overshadowing his face, adjusted my settings and framing, and clicked it while he takes a puff.
