THROUGH THE LOOKING GLASS

The photographic theme “Through the Looking Glass” invites us to explore the idea of seeing the world from an altered perspective, where glass becomes a literal and symbolic boundary between realities.

In this theme, the presence of looking through glass must be immediately and unmistakably clear—whether through windows, mirrors, vitrines, or other transparent surfaces—so the viewer understands the visual premise without explanation. At the same time, it’s important to move beyond clichéd or overly familiar reflection images; the goal is not simply to show a reflection, but to use the glass intentionally to transform, distort, layer, or reframe the story.

As always, strong composition, thoughtful execution, and a clear narrative are essential: how elements are placed in the frame, how light interacts with the glass, and what story is being told on either side of that boundary will determine whether the image feels compelling and purposeful rather than decorative.
