Description
To touch or not to be touched, that is the conflict! I do not dare to reach out for your touch, it seems that only my mirror image is brave enough to capture yours.Isn't it how photographers are sometimes? Approaching the reality through a lense - in the reflexion of our mirror-reflex cameras?
I took this image at a Anish Kapoor exhibition in Munich; what you see there is a big mirror installation and my reflexion in it.

A very interesting concept! I like the use of the reflection in that bent material making everything seem skewed and the composition is visually interesting, especially with that curved floor.

By someone else I meant someone who's not holding the camera...

Hi, thanks for clearing that up would have been a pretty shitty comment otherwise.
Ehm, this was a spontaneus shot, so no modeling in the scene. The person to the left did not know what was going on in his back and also didnt see the touching reflection because the mirror was bend (so he saw a different reflection than I did from my shooting position).
I especially like the concept with the photographer in this image. The photographer looks at the world through a lense, is never in-touch directly but has a medium inbetween himself and reality, only focusing on specific parts and details. So .. isnt it the photographer himself who is always only touching reality as a mirror reflection? In his mirror-reflex camera?

The way you describe it makes me look at this photo differently. It makes sense and it also makes it more interesting

Thanks, well ... in the end everything is in the eye of the observer.

Haha! Did you know that guy? You should have got someone else tho model as the "tucher." But it's funny (and also a little creepy) anyway.
