Symmetry photography can be divisive. And perhaps that's because we teach photographers to be prejudiced against it, from the first time they pick up a camera. The first thing we tell people is to obey the rule of thirds and not to put things in the middle – but sometimes, that's exactly where things belong.
In case the name didn't make it clear enough, symmetry photography involves creating images that featured mirror-like scenes, subjects or compositions. Sometimes the effect is more overt, other times it's more nuanced, but an image that in some way creates or conveys reflection falls into this category.
