Link: Assignment 2, “Umbrella Specular Portrait”
The basic idea of the assignment was to shoot a portrait with a specular reflection of the shoot-through umbrella showing up on a darkish, semi-reflective surface behind the subject.
I struggled to find something to use as the background, but eventually decided on the kitchen cupboard doors.
Thanks to Jean for being my vict model. 
The middle one is my final submission to the group assignment pool.
