If there is a level of photographic expression that fascinates me, it is the Symbolic, many times I am trying for hours in nature to find something that awakens my imagination as if I were playing with images, and sometimes I notice that a different point of view can achieve different meanings with the same photo. Below I will show a simple example of what I mean.
To our left, we show a photo of a small plant in the water, which was taken in the Everglades on a cloudy day with a very clear blue sky. It formed a perfect symmetry with the reflection of the water, of course, I took several photos and then as usual I continued on my way to enjoy nature and the environment that surrounded me, however this simple and minimalist image continued to awaken a curiosity in my mind that in it, he could find some symbolism. Of course, with the viewfinder so small and with such a bright day and in addition to my glasses ha ha ha, I would have to wait to get home to see the image on my computer screen.
Back home, I sat in front of the computer and once I had all my images in Lightroom I immediately went to this photograph, made small adjustments, made a vertical frame, which for me was just a symmetrical reflection of water, harmonious, but in my eyes it was refreshing. Observing her for a while, shaking my head, I saw that by changing the point of view, the photo could have another symbolic meaning.
And I decided to rotate it, as you will see.
ROTATING THE IMAGE TO THE LEFT
Quickly when rotating it I observed that we could already imagine that a figure could be distinguished, in this case my imagination saw a crab, with its legs, pincers, eyes and shell, of course it is not a perfect but symbolic drawing. Now let’s see the following image.
