Photography Inspiration: Unreal Reflections

In my last tutorial I used a famous Bruce Lee quote from the Be Water philosophy, "Be water my friend..", and every time I think about Bruce Lee tons of scenes from movies come to my mind, but the mirror room scene from Enter the Dragon is definitely one of my favorites.The reflections and that eerie sensation that you have no idea what is real or a simple reflection is crazy and very intriguing.

Of course mirrors and reflections are a perfect subject for photography, therefore, I selected some amazing photos showing how crazy these reflections can be.

Poveglia is a small island floating in the lagoons of Venice. In stark contrast to the beauty of its surroundings, the island is a festering blemish. The waves reluctantly lapping its darkened shores will often carry away the polished remains of human bones.
