When we streamed the last season of Bosch in the Spring, I noticed the use of mirrored images in the title sequences. More recently, I've noticed a similar technique being used in a series we have been watching called 'The Capture'. Maybe it's a thing?
Regardless, it can be informative and also fun (remember fun?) to try to reproduce visual effects used by others in our own photographs. Kind of like transcribing solos in jazz, it can be way to grow in our own practice.
When shooting film, it is possible to have both the scanned negative and also the inverted positive at hand. Why not juxtapose them? Here is an example that works pretty well, I think. Balance or symmetry, that is the question...
In our household, we lean toward balance, baby. :)
So, here is another example, going a bit further with the multiple surveillance camera idea this time.
By the way, the whole surveillance thing is getting a little creepy. I was out photographing at a local ball field not long ago, and the police rolled up as I was about to leave. Someone monitoring the CCTV was probably wondering why some dude was photographing an empty sports venue.
