SUMMIT’s infinite reflections are a dream—and a challenge. This photo guide covers outfits, glare control, composition tricks, and etiquette so you leave with keepers.

Outfit and Gear

  • Neutral or solid colors reduce visual clutter; avoid busy prints.
  • Polarizing filters are optional; sunglasses help with glare and eye comfort.
  • Clean your lens often—fingerprints are everywhere.

Checklist

  • Spare microfiber cloth
  • Stable phone grip or small strap
  • Large tripod (policy varies; better to skip)

Angles to Try

  • Symmetry: Center yourself on floor seams; lower the camera to keep horizons straight.
  • Levitation: Place the subject near the platform edge; let the city recede behind.
  • Night Abstracts: Aim at reflections, not the skyline directly, for layered light patterns.

Tip: Turn off auto-brightness and expose for highlights in mirror rooms.

Etiquette

  • Step aside promptly after your shot—others will return the favor.
  • Mind your bag and footing—reflections can hide edges and transitions.

Safety Note

  • For height-sensitive companions, start with interior zones and work outward.
