Windows, screens, windshields. Different texture, colours. Go wild.
The brief
After winning the recent vote, the June assignment is 'Behind Glass'
Think cafés, buses, trains, cars, shop windows and waiting rooms. Any space where a pane of glass creates a barrier between you and your subject. Moments where people appear isolated within their own little worlds, separated from the street.
Inspiration
A collection of photographs, books, movies and specific photographers to use as a loose reference for this assignment.

“Really great job capturing his expression in the middle of a complex, layered scene. I know you mentioned it'd be nice if there was something in the background but i think just seeing the traffic and the writing layered on top is enough. -Shane”

“Nailed it man. I really like how you pulled focus toward the window and the rest falls into soft detail. The wrinkle makes it interesting and the red light reflection pulls the colour together. -Shane”

“It's very difficult to get a shot like this that aligns so perfectly. Love the colour palette and colour matching. The differening textures on the windows. The sub-framing. Great shot, Tom. -Shane Very pleasing compositional choice here Tom, nicely done, love the colours too - Josh”

“So much to take in here, it all works so well, amazing colour treatment too.-Josh Incredible explosion of colour and detail- lots of elements to pick out here, like the reflections in the car mirrors. -Shane”

“Great use of layers, depth, and colour to bring it all together into something mysterious. -Shane”

“This is one of the most unique takes on the assignment, because the glass is barely visible, and that works in the image's favour. At first I thought it was a man holding something aloft in the style of a propaganda poster. Made me look twice. -Shane”

“Great colours, great humour, the dogs expression - chef's kiss. -Josh”

“Really well done Felix, looks like an album cover. -Josh”

“Incredibly cinematic shot Laura - beautifully composed and excellent colour treatment -Josh One of my favourites for mood and mystery. I really like the green tone with splashes of red. -Shane”

“You really nailed the brief here, Brian. Love the typography + small, perfectly framed scene through glass. -Shane”

“Incredible use of layers, depth and contrast Seb, really immersive photograph. -Josh”

“The use of reflection to include yourself in the scene on top of a great composition through the doors is wonderful. The light and texture of the underground really come through in your processing too. -Shane”

“This is a beautiful slice of life Juno. The contrast between the child gazing at the sunset and the adult on the phone is very poignant. -Shane All about that warm sunset vs the cold blue plastic seats, love it - Josh”


“Fantastic use of reflection here, Dominika. That the silhouette reveals the flowers is wonderful. -Shane”
