About Frozen Splash Mahi Tuatahi: Whakaahua Toi

Tuhinga Pukapuka: Ko te Frozen Splash he raupapa whakaahua toi o ngā pēhanga tī. I hangaia ngā whakaahua i roto i tētahi wā whakamātau taiwhanga i Kuwait. I herea ngā kapu ki tētahi taura mārama, ā, i toia, nā reira i peia te wai ki te rangi. He rama tere (speedlight) i whakanohoia ki muri i whakamārōtia ai te nekehanga, ā, nā te tautuhi tere o te kaipupuri whakaahua i hopukina ai te pēhanga i roto i tētahi wehenga iti o te hēkona. I muri mai, i whakatikahia ngā konae mata mō te tae, ā, i whakatikahia hoki mā te rorohiko matihiko. He āhua rerekē tā ia kukumenga o te miro i hanga ai, nā reira he ahurei ia whakaahua.

Unique Properties: This was an experimental photo session that captured drink splashes, this was done using speedlite flash (Godox V1) in the background to freeze the splash of tea and a Canon 5D M4 camera along with a 24-70mm Canon Lens. The cups are tied to a transparent rope, when pulled create stunning splashes which are also considered as a type of "Art by Accident". Moving the thread at different times and in different directions create unique splashes that created these artistic photographs.
Dimensions & Packaging: JPEG Files
Tags: photography, water, splash, tea, spill, frozen, liquid, drink, photoshoot
Production Technology: Raw Photos were taken using the Canon camera, and the images was then edits for color correction in Adobe Lightroom and then edited in Adobe Photoshop
Design Challenge: Capturing the photos at the right moment, the splash happens in a milli second and to capture this at the right time and in the right moment is the most challenging part in this shoot
Research: Digital research and online courses, continuous testing and practical experimenting with different items to get the best results
Inspiration: Photography is a challenging profession and requires a lot of skill and experiments. Perfecting the lighting setup and technicalities is a never ending process that inspires & motivates him to learn something new. He has always been inspired with the flying food and liquids photography from people like Karl Taylor, Ali Arbes and others which also inspired him to try it himself, where he was able to come with unique results.
Project Duration: The project was shot in July 2020 in Kuwait
Operation Flow: The most important factors in this shoot is the light set up and shutter timing. Fast speedlight help freeze the motion and the shutterspeed capture this on time. Timing the shutterspeed with the movement of the cups can be very difficult and sometimes might require the help of a second person. At this stage there is no right or wrong, photos clicked earlier or later can also be different and can create unexpected results
