In the fashion industry, "layered look" refers to a style wearing clothes over other clothes. In photography, a snapshot often seems more fascinating when it captures virtual images, such as faces reflected in a mirror and landscape in a shop-window together with real objects around them. By the way, each of us is composed of many different layers of aspects, such as ancestry, education, hope, despair, travels, the period of time, environment and so on. Life itself is thus "layered."
