Mastering Splash to create a beauty
Mastering Splash by Alex Koloskov and Genia Larionova
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 for Genia Larionova. Today she had a little time (well, 4-5 hours in total:-) and did this amazing composition using images from our photshoot I described earlier. Think she got inspired by the beautiful roses? 
The colors are real and the shapes were slightly adjusted using Photoshop; mostly using masking and combining. We got a huge image, the full size resolution is about 300 megapixels! Because each splash was shot on a full size 22 Mpx sensor and we combined many of them without downsizing, the resulting image is 20000 pixel wide and 14000 tall. Time to print it on a billboard
Update: Post-production details including original layered PSD file is posted on the Premium Content area.
All the best!
