About Frozen Splash Artistic Photos
Frozen Splash is a series of artistic photographs of tea splashes. The images were made during an experimental studio session in Kuwait. Cups were tied to a transparent rope and pulled, so the liquid was thrown into the air. A speedlight flash placed in the background froze the motion, and careful shutter timing captured the splash within a fraction of a second. The raw files were then color corrected and edited with digital software. Each pull of the thread formed a different shape, so every image is unique.

- 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
