Today, we’ll introduce the camera polarizer lens. First, we’ll discuss how we generally misuse filters to overlook the essence of other humans.
The invent of photography raised an important question: Which reflection of us is real?
Today, with the rampant use of special filters and Photoshop, this question rings even louder and we must reconcile the myriad of images we’ve come to know through the lens of a zillion cameras.
I always warn others: This image of me is filtered. Objects in mirror may seem better than they appear.
But a warning doesn’t do reality justice.
There’s this chasm between what we want to believe IS and what actually IS, both as the beauty and as the beholder.

What angle are you comfortable sharing with the world?
Who has seen you filterless in raw daylight, and still loves every angle, every mannerism, and every mark of reality?
There are many different types of filters through which we view those we love.
Today, we’ll introduce the polarizer filter and give a brief background.
What is a polarizing lens?
According to Wikipedia, a camera polarizer lens is one that minimizes glare from the surface of a body of water, and manages darkened skies and reflections affected by haze.
When should you use a camera polarizer lens?
Many argue that rather than using a polarizer filter, you can gain the same effects during post processing. But according to a professional photographer who provides many examples on photagraphylife.com, it is better to have an improved starting point before editing your photos with software. This is to produce the purest possible version of your photo.
How do polarizing filters work?
A polarizing filter is used to reduce haze, thereby managing resulting reflections and other distortions. One can get different effects according to the rotational angle of the filter. Using this type of filter can cause an unnatural coloring or a surreal darkening of skies for instance. So, it’s important for a photographer to understand how to use the filter for the opposite intended effect not to occur.
It’s entirely acceptable not to use this type of filter in your work as a photographer. It’s also reasonable to always have one on hand for the best starting point possible when you sit down to do your editing.
In conclusion, consider whether you’re able to accept others unfiltered? Rare are the times we meet someone and look directly past the exterior into their soul. These moments of unfiltered oblivion to someone’s outer shell are the magic keys to a kingdom where heightened experiences reign.
If you ever want to feel something beyond the raw disappointment of images unveiled, the next time you meet someone, close your eyes to see them.
Who are you without your filters?
Who do you become from a different angle?
Might you consider closing your eyes to see yourself as who you truly are?
For even a reflection in the mirror is not the essence of our entire being.
Raw self-acceptance isn’t accepting what we see—it’s accepting who we are—without the lighting, without the angles, without the cameras or mirrors or feedback from others.
