Reflecting New York by Stefan Falke

Using a hand held mirror in locations around New York, photographer Stefan Falke invites distant buildings, structures, or other visuals into the main photo to create a viewing experience that requires a second look. His goal is to visually loosen up the obvious, to create images that will surprise and intrigue the viewer, and himself. By deliberately showing his hand holding the mirror Falke makes his presence known, which adds a story-telling quality to the images.
