(I took this photo on a rainy day which was perfect, and I edited the photo in the camera app lowering the brightness of the picture to give it a more gloomy look)

Reflection
For this assignment, I wanted to visually represent the sound and feeling of rain using photography. Since it was raining outside during the assignment, I used the gloomy lighting and reflections near my window to create a calm but emotional atmosphere. Instead of focusing on a specific subject, I wanted the image to capture the overall mood and feeling that rain creates.
The purpose of this project was to show how photography can communicate sound and emotion without using actual audio. Even without hearing anything, viewers can often imagine sounds like rain, thunder, or silence just by looking at certain visual details. I wanted the image to feel peaceful but slightly dramatic at the same time.
One thing I enjoyed about this assignment was experimenting with lighting and reflections created by the rainy weather. The darker environment helped create stronger contrast and atmosphere throughout the image. I also realized that weather can completely change the mood of photographs and make ordinary spaces appear more cinematic and emotional.
Overall, this assignment helped me better understand how photography can represent emotions and sensory experiences beyond what is physically visible. The final image focused more on mood and storytelling than simply documenting reality.
