A face in the Crowd

Taken at a Science fair in Switzerland.

We suddenly found ourselves in a ‘hall of mirrors’ and I took a couple of shots, while the students posed.

The others in the photo were my students and the head teacher of the school.

The mirrors reflect the many faces of the students-~~sometimes they were funny, sometimes they were intelligent sometimes they were pleasant~~—but sometimes they were nasty, backstabbing and untrustworthy.

Quite complicated characters even as early teens.

Shot with a Canon 400d

Thanks Anthony. I wish I had had more time with these mirrors to get more out of them.

Hi there! I accepted this photo into the group Photography 101, however it lacks the type of description we would like. Please adhere to the following guidelines so that your photo can be of help to other members! Thanks!!

Artwork should contain a description (which ties in with the physics and emotion behind taking pictures mentioned above). At the absolute minimum, the camera, lens, and settings should be included, but more of a description as to how the shot came about would be very useful too.
Robert O'Neill replied

Ok I shall add some details
Taylor Sawyer

Thank you! ;-)
