Framing
In order to frame the guitar I knew I needed to create a border of some sort. In the first and third photos I used the object of the mirror again to frame the guitar and place it into natural focus. In the first photo, you see a desk of clutter yet your eye is drawn still to the guitar due to effective blurring. Photo two, the guitar is surrounded by a door frame. Naturally, the motive I had behind framing the guitar was to draw sole focus to my object and almost create a "photo-within-a-photo".
Reflection
In choosing to utilize the photographic technique of reflection I was thinking of ways to "reflect" life through my guitar. In some ways, my mood as I play is very reflective so capturing it in this way sort of portrays myself. In these three photos I used a mirror in order to create my source of reflection. In photo 1, the focus of the reflection is drawn to the strings of the guitar. Photos two and three sort of create a "double vision" effect geared through the reflection.
