“Nature’s Mirror” is perhaps the most philosophically ambitious of the three sets. Emily wanted to ask: How does the natural world reflect humanity back at us when we look beyond the visible spectrum? Emily18 Full Sets Galleries 2013

To answer, she combined infrared photography—capturing light beyond human perception—with mirror‑based compositions (ponds, polished stones, reflective leaves). The result is an otherworldly tableau where green foliage glows white and water surfaces become black voids.

For those who have personal collections like this, preserving them can be a challenge. Here are a few tips: Below is a quick‑reference cheat‑sheet

Emily treated the city as a percussive instrument. Her 68 images are grouped in six “movements”, each lasting roughly ten seconds when the set is played as a looping video.

| Movement | Visual Motif | Example Image | |----------|--------------|---------------| | A. Awakening | Dawn light filtering through skyscraper windows; commuters blurred in motion. | “Glass‑Veil” (5 s exposure, f/2.8) | | B. Commute | Subway car interiors, reflections on polished metal, bodies caught mid‑step. | “Tunnel Echo” (1/500 s, frozen motion) | | C. Street Market | Vibrant stalls, saturated colors, close‑up of hands exchanging cash. | “Curry‑Hands” (macro, 90 mm) | | D. Neon Night | Long exposures of Times Square, light trails forming abstract constellations. | “Starlit Avenue” (30 s, ISO 800) | | E. Quiet Corners | Empty alleys, rain‑slicked brick, single streetlamp casting a halo. | “Midnight Solitude” (f/1.4, shallow depth) | | F. Reprise | A composite of the previous movements, overlayed in a double‑exposure to suggest the city’s cyclical nature. | “Cycle” (5‑layer blend) | | Sun‑drenched reflections on water

The color palette shifts from cool blues in the early movements to warm magentas and oranges in the neon night, mirroring the circadian rhythm of the city. Emily deliberately used the “CineStill 800T” emulation LUT for the night shots, giving the artificial lights a filmic halo that feels both nostalgic and contemporary.
