I just love everything about this image. It's fun and playful and it's set-up perfectly. I really wish someone would let me throw paint on them.

Location
I shot this picture at the Niagara College's studio as part of my splash assignment in the Digital Photography program I'm taking.Time
We started around 10am and finished around 2-3pm on a cold Sunday.Lighting
Since I had previous experiences with action shots, I decided to go with an easy setup: Two small softboxes next to the backdrop aiming the model, one big softbox as my main light and a strip box above the big one as a fill light.Equipment
Nikon D7100, 18-55mm lens and tripod.Inspiration
I've always loved splash photography and the previous term I did an (award-winning) action flour photo shoot with the similar concept. I decided to go with colored milk to get a more defined splash shape and not having any hazards as opposed if I had used paint on the model.Editing
For this picture, I didn't have to retouch much. Just minor corrections, vignetting and some colouring on the background to enhance the picture.In my camera bag
Normally I have my Nikon D7100, 35mm, 50mm and 18-200mm lenses; a speed light and an L-478DR LiteMaster light meter.Feedback
Keep shooting, it doesn't matter if you already think you have the shot, there's a big chance you'll get one better. Since this is a shoot using liquids, I would suggest practicing your reflexes, it is crucial to take the picture exactly where you want it. Do not use oil-based paint, there are lots of toxic compounds if using regular paint, it might affect your model and ruin your shoot. Go for colorized milk (Milk + food colorant) for better results.
