Search YouTube for Dispersion Effect "Using Brush | Photoshop Tutorial" I would have included the link, but viewBug is quite weary of that.

Location
This photo was taken in my home studio in Vassar, Michigan.Time
I took this photo at approximately 12:30 pm.Lighting
The lighting was critical in creating this image. I used my MagMod MagBeam flash modifier, affixed with the "slats" gobo. The flash was mounted camera left, slightly above the glass and at about 45 degrees to the glass tumblerEquipment
The background was a simple white poster board, curved to create the background. I used my Godox V860-II flash, mounted off-camera, and affixed with the MagMod MagBeam and the "slats" gobo. My Canon 80D was mounted to a tripod, and I used the Godox X1T remote flash trigger.Inspiration
As part of trying to stay creative during the pandemic lock-down, I was exploring different lighting options with my flash and MagMod MagBeam tool. I wanted to create a sense of drama with the lighting, and then add more drama with the "cracking" of the glass.Editing
Yes, the glass cracking effect was added in GIMP 2.10, and some minor modifications to color and lighting was done in Luminar.In my camera bag
I typically carry my Canon 80D with my five lenses (Tokina atx-i 100mm f/2.8 macro, Canon 50mm f/1.8, Canon 10-18mm wide angle zoom, Canon 18-55mm zoom, and Canon 55-250mm zoom). I also have my Haida M10 pro filter holder with a 10-stop ND and 3-stop GND filter. I also carry a Godox V850II flash with a MagSphere and MagBeam for portrait work. Of course, I always have my standard accessories like spare batteries, lens hoods, memory cards, etc.Feedback
My advice is always simple...soak up everything about where you are, and feel the story that starts to reveal itself about your subject and your surroundings. I'm always amazed that eventually a compelling story begins to emerge, and my job then becomes how best to capture that story. Sometimes that's easy to do, sometimes it's damn hard, and sometimes I'm not able to do it at all. It's those times that I just enjoy the story and the moment, and then later it drives me to get better at my craft so in the future I can perhaps succeed.
