Reflection of the Past by Zahraa Al Hassani

In Reflection of the Past, the photographer explores the interplay between modern optics and vintage media. By capturing the delicate reflection of a camera lens over a film slide, the image creates a poignant dialogue between contemporary digital precision and the tactile history of analog photography. The shallow depth of field, achieved with a wide f/1.8 aperture, isolates the reflection, turning a simple technical setup into a meditative study of light and memory. This evocative composition stands out for its conceptual depth, successfully bridging the gap between the tools of the past and the creative vision of the present.
