The combination of strong backlight and smooth reflective surfaces produces a dramatic effect in terms of artistry.
From within a quiet lobby or hallway, big windows convert the sun rays into silhouettes and reflections on the polished floor surface.
This is an instance of stillness in which architecture and natural sunlight come together to create an image out of something mundane.
In the first photograph, an individual wearing a backpack passes next to the big window frame, and this individual is seen in clear silhouette in front of the brightly lit outdoor environment and the mountains in the background.
Through the highly polished floor, there is almost a perfect inverted reflection of everything outside from the potted plants on the windowsill to the lit windows themselves.
In the second photograph, the focus is placed in the center of the picture as the sunlight shines right on top of the standing person and forms a dazzling star-like light that illuminates the glass.
The bright light falls on the person, while the reflective floor serves as a mirror, capturing the strong reflections of the sunlight along with the soft shadows of the room.
