This fashion photo shoot was taken by the photographer Elizaveta Porodina for the French magazine 'L'Officiel.'
Using two male models who have slim figures and strong features, the photographer took this fashion photo shoot in a room with an indoor pool. The extremely still water, positioning of the photographer and camera and the use of light all create a beautiful symmetric effect in the resulting photos. The models are reflected in the water of the pool so clearly that in some of the pictures, it is difficult to tell which side of the photo is the "real" model and which is the reflection.
These beautiful photos of models reflecting off of surfaces show off their clothes in a poignant way.
