Want to Have Some Fun at Home? Try Splash Photography!

A lot of us are stuck at home right now and probably itching for something to shoot to keep our technical skills sharp and the creative juices flowing. If you are looking for something that is a ton of fun to shoot, now is a great time to learn more about splash photography, and this great video will get you up and running in no time. 

Coming to you from Karl Taylor, this excellent video will show you how to create splash photos, including the gear you will need, how to light them, the proper camera settings, and some fun ideas you can try yourself. Splash photography is a really neat way to create more dynamic images that instantly evoke the sensation of motion for the viewer, making them popular in all sorts of genres from portraits to product work. On top of that, they are also a ton of fun to shoot. After all, how often do you get to toss buckets of paint around on set? Of course, be careful to protect your gear and whatever space you are shooting in, especially if you are working with liquids like paint! Check out the video above for the full rundown from Taylor.

Mr "if you don't know these terms, you are not a real photographer, and need to buy my course".

The lolz are real.

Alex, I'm not at all sure why you down voted my comment; he's the guy who said it in the last video of his you posted.

Talking down to people to make them feel shame, so you can then profit from their insecurity is a total dog act.

He's certainly a competent photographer (his landscape and architectural notwithstanding); but he's a worthless human being.

Karl is possibly one of the most annoying "presenters" out there, but he does have the odd piece of good info, or more importantly, if you are astute enough, you can pick up valuable info by looking at the peripheral . . . as any inquisitive mind should. He is a very good commercial photographer. Perhaps not great, but very, very good.

Subscribe (it's cheap per month . . . I did two), turn the volume down, captions up, and look at his stuff for a month, then cancel. Cheap, and I think anyone might be able to get a few tidbits from some of his presentations.

As for his installation . . . you need to remember that he is backed by Hasselblad and Broncolor, AND he is situated in a tax haven (Guernsey) . . . easy to be "on top" with all of that behind you.

I haven't forgotten his lies and statements which go against his general advice when pushing Hasselblad.

I don't have resources like a large set, but it did give me some interesting ideas to try

video doesn't work on Firefox. what's the reason?

I'll echo that. Never worked since the "design" change. I rely on the author link that goes directly to YouTube and locate it there. Sometimes the article author does not link the video author so there is o where to get more info.
