OMG!!! This is so nice! Are you keeping your technique a secret?

Thank you! not at all... We shoot about 400 splash pictures trying to get very diferents shapes. We use 3 light sources 1 a softbox left side, 1 stripbox for the background through a savage translum backdrop in order to get a nice gradient, and 1 beauty dish above to get highlights in the splashes. After that we choose the images and got together in PS.

This is amazing! Would you mind telling us how you did that? Or is it your secrete technique ;)?

Awesome photos. Can you write a step by step article on how to do it using 400 shots? Inspiring photo.

This is absolutely amazing and I can't even imagine the time and effort that went into producing this.

Stunning shot. Well done.

It's all been said already but I salute your skill and sheer creativeness. It's an absolute masterpiece. It just gets better the longer you look at it. A wonderful, wonderful photograph and another reason why VB should exist, because people like me get to see such talented work. It really is staggering.

Spectacular!

Great work!!

How inspiring! If you care to share more, I'm very curious if this was this made from just one of the 400 shots, or is it a composite of shapes taken from multiple shots? The lighting is stunning!
