Hi everyone,

I’ve enjoyed learning about splash photography from the advanced course and have finally managed to give it a go. Got very messy but had lots of fun! Here is my first attempt at using a splash in a composite with nail polish. The nail polish was shot using 2 stripboxes containing speedlights through diffusion panels. The splashes were shot using 3 speedlights.

Thanks

Joe

Just wanted to add this one too – quite happy with how it turned out but is there anything I can improve?

Joe, These both look pretty good, on the first one have a look at the attached image. I just thing the splash would look better more fluid or curved. On the second image remember to add some reflection or color to the product where the splash would show up.

  Thank you Kurt. Yes, I prefer the more curved version. I’ll do that to mine. Good reminder about shadows/reflections – I’d not considered that here.
  
  Have a great Christmas

Course Reviews

Studio Basics Photographer’s Bootcamp (starter course)
Good start with the basics but should improve 3
The difference between direct reflections, diffuse reflections and glare not mentioned. The photographer take the reflections of light. So each reflection should be explained throughly. The module focuses on direct reflections only. Which is very restricting. There should be a clear definition of specular higlight, specular edge transfer and shadow edge transfer. This things are just called gradient. Not enough for a paid course. Other information about camera settings, lens effects is decent

Shishir, Yes, absolutely agree with you. However, this course is not a "true course", we made it from various and not linked together lessons, just for the easier way to have "all in one place". Paid courses are different though, each made as a course with objectives, conclusion, etc. thank you!

Tough to Review 3
How to measure effectiveness of a course without a course objective? It is nice to go through to get some viewpoints on lighting options but not much else besides that. Broadening the scope to include some elements to composition in addition to lighting would be better in my view.

[…] There you have it! That is pretty much the kit I’ve been carrying as a professional food photographer for the past year or so. Of course I augment it a bit in the studio or for longer shoots but this has served me well.

Very interesting 5
It was very good idea to show how an assignment with client is done from the beginning. I really enjoyed watching it. The link to bonus video isn't working.
