The idea of photographing a bubble was an attempt to re-create this similar photo to one I took back in 2013 early into my photography journey. My cousin had given me a challenge to create a photo with the prompt ‘reflections’. Water reflections… Mirror reflections…bubble reflections! And the photoshoot began.

I was fascinated by the simultaneous upright and upside-down reflections the bubble creates, and the shapes and backgrounds that are unique to every photo.

Re-doing a bubble shoot for this year’s calendar reminded me that it is often easy to get good photos from amazing landscapes or animals, but great photos can also result from simple ideas and some creativity.

Taking this photo became a fun challenge trying different locations, backgrounds, lighting, and, of course, the tricky task of keeping the bubble in focus as it moved. I couldn't have done it without help from friends blowing bubbles – who clearly had fun too!
