Gilad Benari is a photographer from Israel who enjoys taking pictures of reflections. His work is stunning and creative, you can find the link to his blog here!
Chelsea, this is VERY cool! Gilad’s pictures are inspirational. His pictures are powerful because they move you in a strong way-beyond normal, physical world can do. It is amazing how photography can do this. Gilald does a great job of using a camera to create eye-capturing, powerful artistic work.
Thanks for sharing this Chelsea. Benari’s work is phenomenal. I would have never thought of taking pictures through reflections. I really love the image above as well and I can’t stop looking at it! What I like most about Benari’s work is that it causes me to mentally engage in his photographs because of the illusionistic qualities in them. His work shows a unique and inspirational approach to photography.
I just noticed that Benari’s work is somewhat similar to Abelardo Morell’s work because of the use of reflections in images to create a more powerful portrayal of subject matter, and also because of the slight illusionistic qualities. There’s a link to Morell’s work in Nil’s second post.
I really like the innocence and look of simplicity of this photo. I think that Benari did an excellent job of capturing a simple scene yet putting an incredibly complex spin of creativity on it with the reflection.
