While preparing the Godiva liqueur shot we tried shooting with many different liquids, including water colored by fabric dye. During that particular photoshoot I was developing different techniques for splash shapes and learning how to consistenly throw them. We’ve got hundreds of different colored splashes. Yesterday we were celebrating the launch of “MasteringSplash.com” and I bought roses
Look what I found! This is a very well done tutorial on how to get started on your own journey in splash and liquid photography. Created by Evan Sharboneau, owner of PhotoExtremist.com. This video is really good, fast and very intuitive with cool results; exactly the way i wold do it myself:-) Enjoy! High-Speed Photography Tutorial with Splashes and Flashes
I’ve already shared some of the insights of this shot on Google plus and now it’s time to post everything on here. So here is our hero shot: Milk and chocolate splash Godiva liqueur
Part one: the Godiva bottle As you have probably already guessed, this shot is a composite made from several separate images. First, we did the bottle. The lighting
I’ve been asked so many times about what strobe, camera shutter speed, etc can be used to freeze a liquid splash action and I’ve decided to put this little post together for you guys. What the minimum needed to start shooting liquid in motion?
Complete gear list for action tabletop photography 1. Camera. Any camera which can trigger
Now you know why we’ve been doing all of these chocolate and milk splashes recently. It’s been a lot of fun and we’ve learned even more about the different types of liquids, color fillers and ways of creating splashes. The result is below. Chocolate and milk splash of Godiva
This past weekend, I played with these little gel-like clear balls that we’ve had for a few weeks now sitting and waiting to be photographed. That gel has exactly the same refraction that water has, meaning they become completely invisible in the water. Eventually I had time to play with this prop, just to make sure it will look as
I am glad to announce our latest work, a jewelry ring with splash:
It was experimental shoot, and we are going to release an e-book about how ti was done: the shot and a post-production. Re-posted from Genia’s blog: Before and after photo of our upcoming ebook. Stay tuned!
Our image was used to create this cool 3D -like effect on this webpage:
www.liquipel.com Pretty cool effect! You separate droplets on a different layers and move top ones faster then the bottom ones. This type of shots (not a Photoshop merge, but a real splash + product) we’ll be doing on upcoming masterclass in June 11th in
We almost got it ready. A full length walk-through the shot, with the video, sample images and post-production. The masterclass won’t be free and can be purchased through the paypal. I am calling it masterclass, because it is not a classical tutorial: I’ll be showing how we did the shot, not how you should do
One more cool shot and article on my pixiq blog. As usual, announcing here: The magic behind our liquid photography Feedback is appreciated, as usual. have you tried something similar? Please share!
If you’d like to learn more about the liquid photography, I have an e-book for you, which is based on my 5 hour “Mastering Splash” masterclass:
We have entered a holiday week here in US: Turkey day (4th Thursday in November, also known as Thanksgiving day) is approaching. Having the whole week in our kids Montessori school free from admission left us no choice but to run out from a city… We landed in the North Georgia mountains in a beautiful
Thank for all who participated our first masterclass, I think it was good, especially considering that this is my first time when I was working and talking on public:-) I can’t say that it was an easy task for me: being born introvert and quite shy guy, I do not feel comfortable talking to more then
As promised, here is the tutorial for what I call “underwater” product photography (not sure what the right name for this). We shoot several products, from fruits to a shampoo bottles, and now I am glad to show you the result.
This is the most enjoyable photo-shot I had for last few month: not only the
Once again we were playing with water and fruits. Small inflated pool, 3 Canon Speedlite Flash units and some handy support hardware makes it possible. Around 1/10.000 second flash duration can freeze any splash, only you need to worry about is a light distribution: reflectors and white backdrops are must to be here. I was
Questions and Answers. Quite often I receive interesting questions about the particular lighting setup or issue with the particular shot that other photographers are dealing with and such questions is not directly related to any post I have here in the blog. Read More->>
You made this!
