Aqueous Photography Tutorial: Create Amazing Photos Using Milk

6/15/2018 ISO 1200 Magazine 0 Comments

Being creative is what still life photography is all about. The world of special effects photography, paint, powder, liquids, and so on, can be a difficult thing to enter. Not many of us have a room in which we can freely throw paint around.

That’s why aqueous photography, or Cloud Tank as Max Bridge call it in the video, is so great. All you need is a fish tank and a few other bits, and you’re able to produce unique imagery without too much disruption.

SOME FINAL IMAGES:

I’ve been away for a while Instagram so thought I’d come back with a bang! This extremely complex shot of a Baileys bottle surrounded by clouds of Cream and Whisky took a long time to create. Keep an eye out for the behind the scenes photos which will come soon ⠀ #photooftheday #stilllife #amazing #motivationalmonday #stilllifephotography #baileys @baileysus @baileysofficial
